MUNICH: At least 20 people were injured after a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a crowd of people in Munich in what the state premier said was probably an attack on Thursday , as the German city prepared to host a top-level security conference.
The suspected attack throws security back into the spotlight before a federal election next week following several other violent attacks. A passer-by said he witnessed the incident from a window of a neighbouring office building. The car, a Mini Cooper, had threaded its way between the police vehicles and then accelerated, he said.
People in the crowd were taking part in a strike held by the Verdi public sector workers' union whose leader, Frank Werneke, expressed shock but said he had no further details.
