German authorities believe the Afghan man suspected of driving a car into a group of people in Munich may have had Islamist extremist motives. "He admitted to deliberately driving into the participants of the demonstration. For this, he gave a reason, which I would summarise as religious motivation," says prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann. After the incident, the suspect uttered the words "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) to police officers and also prayed after his arrest, Tilmann adds during a press conference in Munich.
