Berlin Pride attacker pledged allegiance to ISIL, German prosecutors say

German prosecutors say they have uncovered a video of the suspect in last month's Berlin Pride attack pledging allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, or ISIS). The finding, announced by investigators, provides a clear motive for the attack and confirms its Islamist extremist nature. The suspect is accused of carrying out a stabbing during the LGBTQ+ pride event in Berlin in July, which left several people injured. Meanwhile, the German outlet Deutsche Welle reports that false claims and misleading videos about the attack have spread widely on social media. DW's fact-checking team examined some of the most shared claims and found them to be baseless. The debunked rumors include allegations about the attacker's background and the response of police. Authorities have urged the public to rely on official information and avoid sharing unverified content. The investigation into the attack continues, with prosecutors now focusing on the suspect's ties to extremist networks. The case has sparked discussions about security at public events and the threat of Islamist violence in Germany.
