German authorities are searching for a suspect after a deadly attack near the Berlin Pride event, which officials describe as Islamist terror. Multiple outlets report that a wanted notice is issued for Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen with Lebanese roots. Authorities warn the public not to approach him, saying he may be armed and dangerous. Channel NewsAsia and NDTV state that Ballout had prior interactions with authorities, describing a “high number” of previous crimes and that he is considered to have been radicalised. NDTV also quotes Germany’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, who identifies Ballout as German-born and provides family background, including that his mother was naturalised in 2002 after immigrating from Lebanon. Fox News similarly reports that a German minister links Ballout to Berlin’s Islamist scene and says he is still at large. Investigators have not provided additional confirmed details about the attack itself in the excerpts provided, but officials continue to pursue the suspect as the search remains ongoing.
