Hamburg Pride draws 300,000 with increased security, a week after a fatal attack in Berlin
Hamburg police will deploy twice as many officers as last year as organizers expect 250,000 people after the Berlin attack.
- Hamburg Pride, known as Christopher Street Day , commenced in Hamburg, Germany, with heightened security following a fatal attack in Berlin last week.
- Last week's Berlin Pride march turned tragic when a man rammed a van into participants, killing one woman and injuring 31 people, an incident German authorities are treating as an "Islamist terrorist attack."
- Participants on a dedicated Berlin Pride float are wearing dark clothing to honor victims, while police deployed twice as many officers as last year to protect the estimated 250,000 attendees in Hamburg.
- Investigators identified the suspect as 21-year-old Abdul Ballout, who was killed by police on Sunday; evidence suggests he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.
- Beyond Hamburg, Pride events under the CSD banner are scheduled in Bonn, Ahaus, Moers, and Naumburg, extending the community's solidarity across Germany.
