Berlin Pride attacker recorded masked pledge of allegiance to IS on phone, prosecutors say
Jerusalem Post ^ | 28 July 2026 | Staff

The man believed to be behind a deadly vehicle attack near Berlin's Pride celebration over the weekend left a video on his phone pledging allegiance to the terrorist group Islamic State, German prosecutors said on Tuesday.

Though the person in the video was masked, authorities assume it shows the suspected attacker, 21-year-old German citizen Abdul Ballout, a spokesperson for the federal prosecutors' office said.

He would not specify when the video was recorded.

Ballout, who was shot dead by police on Sunday, is suspected of plowing a vehicle into crowds in Tiergarten park near the Brandenburg Gate late on Saturday, killing a Polish woman in her 60s and injuring 29 people.

Germany announces security overhaul after debate over probation of suspect Germany's interior minister announced a security overhaul on Monday after the vehicle attack prompted an angry debate over why the suspected driver had been freed under supervision of a probation officer and was not in prison.

The suspect had been convicted and sentenced to jail time in May for preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Point this (and the Pulse Nightclub shooting - the worst terror attack outside of 9/11 in the USA) to the morons at "Gays for Palestine".

BRAINWASHED MORON?

This is obviously FAKE NEWS. Muslims are peaceful and are commanded to NEVER attack other innocent people.

The right wing extremists reporting these lies about Muslim have an agenda. We must ALL support peaceful Muslims everywhere, they are the hope for the future of the west.

Let’s all move on now.

This guy was a lone wolf.
And he was probably mentally ill.

He does not represent true Islam.

——-

But of course he does represent true Islam!
I’m just predicting what the authorities will say.

Germany has to decide if it wants to support gay pride parades or support bringing in immigrants that don’t support gay pride parades...

Toxic empathy on parade...

Saw an interesting statistic:

More people have been killed by Trans men in 2026 than by ICE agents.

Germany prevented having to take accountability by killing him.

I had to look up the name of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

Wikipedia now says this anti-gay shooting by a closeted gay who hated himself was to protest US military action.

Talk about revisionism.

And yet we have the German Interior Minister still saying that the police are examining whether mental health issues played a significant role and cautioning that “We need to be very careful with respect to the motives for this very violent attack.”

He pledged allegiance to ISIS?

So you’re saying his motive is unclear.
