An attack on 2 shisha bars in Germany. The suspect then appears to have killed his mother and then himself.

Looks like he had Far Right sympathies - it's being treated as a terrorist attack.

Sympathies for the victims.

The rise of the Far Right is a worry.

No one? I bet therr would be more talk if it had been an attack in the name of Islam.

The Far Right are on the rise. There has been an increase in referrals to Prevent of people radicalised with Far Right ideology.

We have had Far Right attacks before. Will we have more soo6?

Awful.

I've been following it too and I'm really saddened by it. A few days ago I read that Germany had recently foiled a spate of similar attacks that were planned on mosques. Sorry I don't have a source,was skimming the news at the time.
A worrying time to be an ethnic minority in Germany and worrying for all of us if this right wing ideology spreads.
