German police are hunting for a 21-year-old suspect in what authorities called an Islamist terror attack on the outskirts of Berlin Pride late Saturday, which left one woman dead and 29 others injured.

In this interview, counterterrorism specialist Hans-Jakob Schindler discusses whether the Islamist terror attack on the outskirts of Berlin Pride  reflects Islamist extremism, lone-actor violence or a combination of threats. He also explores why vehicle attacks continue to target public spaces in Germany, what is known about the suspect’s background, and how authorities assess potential extremist networks and future security risks.
