The car-ramming that injured at least 36 people in Munich, Germany, on Thursday ahead of a major security conference featuring world leaders and defense leaders, was an intentional attack and is being treated as Islamic extremism,

Authorities say the suspect in the car-ramming attack in Munich that injured 39 people appears to have had an Islamic extremist motive, but there’s no evidence that he was involved with any radical network.
