Afghan Migrant Who Drove Car into Munich Crowd, Was Reportedly A Bodybuilding ‘Islamic Extremist’

The Afghan migrant who plowed his car into a demonstration in Munich, injuring 36 people — including a mother and her 2-year-old child — was a bodybuilding “Islamic extremist” who said “Allahu Akbar” after his arrest, officials said Friday, February 14.

Farhad Noori, a 24-year-old who had just been turned down for asylum, admitted to intentionally driving a mini-cooper into the 1,500-strong crowd in Munich in what appears to be an “Islamic extremist attack,” German law enforcement officials announced Friday.  

Prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann said that during a two-hour police interrogation Noori “gave an explanation that I would summarise as religious motivation.” That emerged soon after Noori was detained, when he began praying — and told cops “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great,” Tillman said.  

Noori’s online posts then showed “indications of an extremist background,” prosecutors told German media — including an alarming one that said: “Eradicate all those who are bad to Islam.”  

Noori was born in Kabul in 2001 and first arrived in Germany from Afghanistan at the end of 2016 as an unaccompanied minor, according to German reports. He applied for asylum, but it was rejected. German chancellor Olaf Scholz has called for Noori to be deported. (NYP/VFI News)
