Man storms German church yelling ‘Allahu Akbar,’ injures 9 people
(Worthy News) – Parishioners said a man screamed Arabic phrases, including “Allahu Akbar,” as he charged into the St. Paul’s Parish Church on Saturday. The assailant, identified by police as a 36-year-old Somali man, caused injuries to at least nine people.
Marko Petrovic – who was pushed aside by the assailant – told the Munich-based tz paper on Wednesday, “The man ran past me, rammed my elbow into his side and called ‘Allahu Akbar.’ He threw something. A few visitors, strong men, were able to pull him to the ground and hold him until the police arrived.”
The Munich police issued a statement on Sunday, stating the offender “entered the church through the main entrance, gesticulating and shouting unintelligible words. In addition, he is said to have thrown several stones in the church.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
