And more bad news from Munich. From the Telegraph

A woman and her two-year-old daughter have died from injuries sustained in the Munich car ramming attack.

The 37-year-old mother and her daughter had been critically wounded in the attack, which happened when a Mini Cooper ploughed into a crowd of people taking part in a trade union rally on Thursday. At least 37 others, including children, were injured.

Ludwig Waldinger, a police spokesman, told AFP: “Unfortunately, we have to confirm the deaths today of the two-year-old child and her 37-year-old mother.”

The suspect is an Afghan man, named as 24-year-old Farhad N . . .During the attack, which authorities said they were treating as a religiously motivated incident, he was shot at and arrested by police.

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, visited the scene of the attack on Saturday and laid a white rose at an improvised memorial. He condemned the “awful” attack and vowed to deport the attacker immediately.

The Right-wing AfD, in second place in polls, also seized on the incident, with Alice Weidel, the co-leader, writing online: “Should this go on forever? Migration turnaround now!”
