Berlin Pride attack suspect dead after stabbing at CSD parade

On July 26, 2026, a man stabbed several people at the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade in Berlin, killing a mother from Poland. The suspect, identified as Abdul B., died later that evening. German media report that the LKA (State Criminal Police Office) had filmed Abdul B. just one hour before the attack, raising questions about surveillance failures.

Politicians have reacted with shock, and the attack has been labeled Islamist. Some commentators criticized attempts to link the attack to a rise of the far right. The case has sparked debate about Germany's handling of Islamist threats and the balance between surveillance and prevention.
