Munich Security Conference Mourns 2 Killed In Attack
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
MUNICH, GERMANY (Worthy News) – Germany’s annual Munich Security Conference (MSC) plunged into mourning Sunday as news emerged that two people were killed in a car-ramming attack on a labor union protest in nearby Munich, which also injured nearly 40 people.
Christoph Heusgen, the outgoing MSC chairman, spoke to delegates as authorities confirmed that a 2-year-old girl and her mother, a 37-year-old woman from Munich, died two days after they were injured in the tragedy.
“We began this conference on Friday when the information came that there were victims of an attack here in Munich. We end this with the news that we have received that two people were actually killed,” Heusgen said.
“And as the Munich Security Conference is very close to the attack, we mourn together today these victims, and our thoughts are with the families and the loved ones of the victims, and we wish the wounded a speedy recovery,” he added.
A 24-year-old Afghan man who came to Germany as an asylum-seeker was arrested immediately after the attack on Thursday, according to officials.
Prosecutors announced Friday that the attacker appeared to have had “an Islamic extremist” motive. There was no immediate evidence that he was involved with any radical network.
Some 39 people were hurt in the attack, and police said Friday that two of those were very seriously injured.
Bavaria’s state criminal police office said the two seriously wounded patients, the young girl and her mother, passed on Saturday.
It was the fifth in a series of attacks involving immigrants over the past nine months.
The violence has pushed migration to the forefront of the campaign for Germany’s election on 23 February, with the anti-migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party expected to gain many votes.
