The suspect has been identified as Saudi national Taleb al-Abdulmohsen. Police haven't cited a motive, but a minister confirmed that the suspect was “clearly Islamophobic.”
What a condescending way to make your point. Of course terrorism doesn’t belong to one ideology.
I was talking about vehicle ramming attacks specifically, because the deadliest incidents have been Islamist extremists targeting crowded venues in Europe, including the Bastille Day attack on the promenade in Nice and the 2016 attack on another Christmas market in Berlin (which this attack was clearly imitating). I just find it weird that a right-wing anti-immigrant Islamophobe would do a copycat attack like that – it’s like a left-wing Israeli protesting the war in Gaza by suicide-bombing Palestinians in Ramallah.
