21-year-old Muslim of Lebanese descent named Abdul Ballout, already known to authorities and linked to Islamist circles, drove a van into the crowd at Berlin’s LGBTQ+ Pride event.

BREAKING NEWS–

Via Nius.de:
Terrorist Abdul Ballout was shot dead today during a police operation in Berlin. This was confirmed by the Senate Department for the Interior.

According to reports, police surrounded a garden plot before moving in and killed the Islamist who drove through the gay pride parade in Berlin on Saturday.

According to Bild.de the terrorist attacked police with a “bladed weapon” before he was killed at 6:34 PM German Time.

Abdul attempted several times to join the Islamic State.

On Saturday a suspect believed to be tied to Berlin’s “Islamist scene” plowed through the Berlin Gay Pride Parade killing at least one person and injuring 16 others. The Berlin Christopher Street Parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in Europe.

The killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual Christopher Street Day celebration.

The Sun reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with a bladed weapon and attacked people in the park near the end of the parade route.

According to Bild.de, the man, currently at large, is known to be a member of the Islamist scene. He is believed to be Abdul B., 21. The manhunt for him is currently underway.

Hours later the media admitted Abdul Ballout was linked to Islamist groups and was on the authorities’ radar.

Abdul was born in Germany but left the country for Lebanon.

According to Drew Pavlou:

Germany identified him as an Islamist threat, so they had him arrested in Lebanon and FLEW HIM BACK TO GERMANY to put him on trial for plotting terror attacks.

He was convicted and sentenced for terrorism offences in May 2026 but released on time served.

By July 2026 he was back on the streets.

German authorities told him to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions.

He responded by carrying out a jihadist terrorist attack on a pride parade.

Obviously, the authorities dropped the ball on this one.

Abdul finished his de-Islamization counseling two months ago. On Saturday he drove his car through the Gay Pride Parade.
