Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia condemned the car-ramming attack that occurred in the German city of Munich on Thursday.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom’s condemnation of the run-over incident that resulted in several injuries. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its complete rejection and denunciation of all forms of violence and expressed solidarity with Germany. The ministry wished a speedy recovery to the injured.

At least 30 people were injured, some seriously, when a car was driven into a crowd in Munich. The driver was a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, police said, and was identified in local media as Farhad N. He was arrested at the scene.

Police said counter-terrorism officers had taken over the investigation, but Bavaria's state premier later clarified that there was no immediate indication of "previous extremist backgrounds".
