He stabbed travellers with a knife, chased a man through Dresden’s main railway station. But an expert opinion does not consider Milad A. (24) is not a terrorist.
The Afghan had randomly attacked a group of travellers in the main station on the evening of August 13, 2021.
He kicked the first of the three Uzbeks off the bench, the second he attacked with a kitchen knife (9 cm blade) and injured his hand. According to the indictment, he shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is great).
He chased the third man through the station – stabbing him nine times and injuring his arm and hip.
Only federal police officers were able to overpower him with a drawn weapon.
On Monday, the Afghan made a confession before the district court – but claims not to remember anything: “I drugged myself with Crystal an hour before, I was just scared,” he said during the trial.
According to an Islamic expert opinion of the State Office of Criminal Investigation, there are no indications of extremism in his case.
However, Milad A. has already stabbed once in the train station. As the newspaper BILD learned, three years ago he was sentenced to 16 months probation for a knife attack, among other things.
“Probation is out of the question,” the judge let slip yesterday. He is facing years in prison for dangerous bodily harm and threatening behaviour. The trial will be continued.
