(DPA) Bavarian Premier Markus Söder has called for immediate negotiations with the Taliban on deportation flights to Afghanistan following a deadly attack by an Afghan national in the southern German state’s capital, Munich.
“A flight is needed every week,” Söder told the Sunday edition of Germany’s Bild newspaper. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser should speak directly to the Taliban about deportation flights from Monday, he said.
A 24-year-old Afghan national drove a car into a trade union demonstration in Munich on Thursday, injuring at least 39 people, some seriously. A woman and her 2-year-old daughter died on Saturday as a result of their injuries.
Investigators currently assume the attack had an Islamist background.
