The motives of the Munich assassination taught, where three Albanian victims remained

David S. Iranian origin killed nine people, including 3 Albanians, at a shopping centre in Munich last year before killing himself. Authorities did not believe the attack had ideological motives, but new data opposes it.

Last year, on July 25th young people from Kosovo, Armela Segashi, Dimant Zaberja and Sabine Sulaj, had been killed in a trade centre in Munich, where many immigrants live. A total of 9 people and over 25 injured were killed in the attack.

Among the wounded were two other Kosovars, Lumije Azemi and a 14-year-old with B.A. initials, both located in Germany.

Witnesses said the author of the attack, an 18-year-old Iranian-German born in Germany, fired a gun, with insults against immigrants.

In contrast with the results of police work, an expert panel engaged by the city of Munich concluded that David S. has been motivated by extremist right ideology, when it opened fire and killed nine people in a shopping mall in Bavari, writes DW.

Authorities last year classified the incident more as rage than a deliberate attack. The Public Prosecutor's Office wrote that “could not be assumed that crime had political motives”, while the Federal Office for Protection of the Constitution described David S. As a sick psycho bribing “”, but not a “terrorist fighter”.

But a panel of social science experts told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper on Tuesday that official investigators had downplayed racist motives, and especially against migrants, not even considering that the handbill had planned the attack thoroughly.

Migrants Were the Target

The nine people who were killed in his attack were immigrants. At a time when David S. He did not personally know the victims, he knew he would face migrants from the Munich shopping center, experts said.

Experts also found that David S. had written one as a manifesto, in which he swore he would execute <x0 foreign sub-state” to protect Germany from <x2).

The timing of the attack was important to establish connection with the right extreme. David S. carried out the killings on the anniversary of the 2011 murder of 77 people, mainly children, by right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik.

The panel concluded that the Iranian origin of David S. They had not been stopped by racist feelings toward immigrants. In fact, it seemed that the manual wanted to show himself as a real <x0-German”, degrading and killing non-ethnic Germans. panel data is expected to be displayed in Munich City Hall on Friday.
