The suspected Islamist terrorist who allegedly drove a van into crowds of people at the Berlin Pride Parade on Saturday has been shot and killed by police. According to German daily Bild, the 21-year-old alleged ISIS-inspired terrorist, Abdul Ballut, was shot and killed during a SWAT team operation in the Spandau district of Berlin on Sunday.
This came after a manhunt was launched after a van was driven into revellers at Berlin’s Christopher Street Day Pride Parade, killing one and leaving 29 injured. The paper reported that Special Task Force (SEK) police officers had come under attack from the suspect with a blade after he was discovered hiding in a garden shed. The officers returned fire, and the suspect reportedly died at 6:34 pm local time.“Despite immediate resuscitation measures initiated by the Berlin Fire Department, he died at the scene,” a police spokesman confirmed.
