A national manhunt has commenced in Germany for Abdul B, a 21-year-old suspect in a deadly attack near a Pride gathering in Berlin. The incident resulted in one fatality and 29 injuries, intensifying concern over terrorism linked to radical Islamists.

The suspect, described as having a Lebanese background and known for previous criminal activities, allegedly drove a minivan into the crowd before employing a bladed weapon. Authorities have warned the public that Abdul B is 'possibly armed and ⁠dangerous', emphasizing the ongoing threat.
