2-year-old girl, mother die from injuries in Munich car attack

A 2-year-old girl and her mother have died after they were injured in the car-ramming attack on a labor union demonstration in Munich, police said Saturday.

A 24-year-old Afghan man who came to Germany as an asylum-seeker was arrested immediately after the attack on Thursday. Prosecutors said Friday that he appears to have had an Islamic extremist motive, but there was no evidence that he was involved with any radical network. A damaged Mini Cooper and other debris could be seen at the scene.

Thirty-nine people were hurt in the attack, and police said on Friday that two of those were very seriously injured. The city’s mayor, Dieter Reiter, said on Friday that children had been among those injured in the “deeply shocking” attack.
