Authorities in Germany announced murder charges Tuesday against an Afghan man accused of killing two people and injuring 44 in a car-ramming in Munich in February that prosecutors say was motivated by a desire to avenge suffering of Muslims.
The man, an Afghan national identified only as Farhad N. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested immediately after the attack during a labor union demonstration. He came to Germany as an asylum seeker and was 24 years old at the time of the attack.
