Germans on Sunday mourned a deadly Islamist attack near Berlin Pride, while police were hunting for a 21-year-old suspect in the latest ramming assault to shake Germany.
The attack late Saturday -- the first such incident to target the German capital's LGBTQ community -- left one woman dead and 29 others injured.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt named the chief suspect as Abdul Ballout, a German citizen of Lebanese origin whom prosecutors say was a supporter of the so-called Islamic State group (IS) with a criminal conviction dating from just this May.
