Today at 10:30am near Stiglmaierplatz in Munich – not far from my old apartment – a 26 year-old asylum seeker in Germany named Farhad Noori drove his Mini Cooper into the rear of a Verdi trade union demonstration. He evaded the marchers’ police escort and ran down 28 people, before officers opened fire and managed to subdue him. Two of Noori’s victims, a mother and her young son, ended up under his car. The young boy had to be resuscitated on-scene by emergency responders and it is uncertain whether he will live.

(All media are presently withholding Noori’s family name, but your intrepid blogger discovered it – and his social media accounts – through his own researches. In this way I can offer you a modest second-order ‘exclusive’. Believe me, I take no pleasure in this.)
This was the second automobile attack on innocent bystanders in public since Magdeburg in December, when the Saudi migrant Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove a rented BMW into a Christmas market crowd, killing six and injuring 299. To this terrible tally comes the knife attacks in Mannheim, Solingen and Aschaffenburg. This singular and exceedingly rare category of crime – which has become a symbol for the decay in domestic security associated with mass migration – presently claims a nine-month toll in Germany of 12 dead and 343 wounded. The latest attack is additionally poignant, because it follows the Green and Social Democrat blockade of a bill to restrict migration in the Bundestag on January 31st. Among other things, the Left parties withheld their votes because Alternative für Deutschland supported the legislation.
Noori fits what is by now a well-established pattern: he is a native Afghan who came to Germany in 2016 with the rest of the Merkel wave; he was known to the police for theft and drug offences; after the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees rejected his asylum application, he received a visa of tolerated stay anyway.
Like al-Abdulmohsen, the Christmas market attacker, Noori also had a large social media presence, with 68,000 followers on Instagram and another 33,000 on TikTok. On Instagram one finds pictures he posted last year of himself standing next to the Mini Cooper used in today’s attack:

Noori was primarily a competitive bodybuilder, but he was also a pious Muslim; Der Spiegel notes that some of his final social media posts contain “Islamist content”, which seems to be a reference to TikTok posts like this one. In apparent video of his arrest this morning, Noori can be heard shouting “God is great” over and over.
What will happen now is the very same thing that happened after all of these other attacks. Politicians will tell us that these events are unacceptable and that Germany must enact grave changes to prevent them in future. Then there will be renewed marches to celebrate diversity and oppose ‘the Right’, because the most important victims of migrants attackers are of course all the peaceful Muslims they did not attack. Around this time we will be warned against over-generalising and overreacting, and then the story will slip from the headlines until the next time.
UPDATE: Some additional details have come to light. Noori’s asylum application was rejected in 2017, a year after his arrival. He became an illegal resident in 2020, but received his visa of toleration sometime thereafter. Some of his (now-deleted) Instagram posts show that he worked as store security for Ralph Lauren in Munich. He was known to the authorities for document forgery, among other crimes.
All media are presently withholding Noori’s family name, but your intrepid blogger discovered it – and his social media accounts – through his own researches. In this way I can offer you a modest second-order ‘exclusive.’ Believe me, I take no pleasure in this.

The Munich attack is a parable for everything that’s wrong with European migration policy
The German government did, however, gives ours a lesson in transparency
ROBERT JENRICK
The tragic scenes in Munich today are all too familiar. The lead suspect is, yet again, an asylum seeker – this time with a police history of drug crime and petty theft.
Where once a shocking event like this provoked wall to wall coverage, now many shrug their shoulders, so desensitised are we to this extreme violence that comes with life in Europe. In Bavaria this terror attack comes following an attack last month by another Afghan asylum seeker who killed a small boy at nursery.
It wasn’t always this way, and it doesn’t have to be this way if Western leaders wake up. A generation of German politicians have operated an open-doors immigration policy, which, coupled with the EU’s Schengen Zone, has been nothing short of disastrous. If the German leadership took border security seriously, this man would not have been in the country.
In most respects, the Munich attack is a parable for everything that is wrong with European migration policy. The suspect arrived illegally and managed to avoid deportation for almost a decade despite a history of crime and alleged extremism. He lived with the impunity we’ve come to expect. But at least in the frankness of the authorities in levelling with the public after his most heinous act, they acknowledged how bankrupt their system has become.
Today was a rare instance where the German authorities did something the British Government should learn from. Within just a few hours of the attack the Bavarian state leader made public the nationality and police history of the suspect. The German press were briefed that his application for asylum has been rejected and that he had posted Islamist content on a social media site before carrying out the crime.
An hour later the German Chancellor told the public the attacker must be punished and deported. If you commit crimes, you should be sent home, even if that is a place which is “very difficult to live in”, as Olaf Scholz put it. Nobody should be made to live next to these dangerous people.
For some reason, Germany remains the only country in Europe deporting migrants back to Afghanistan. For reasons I cannot understand, our courts continue to prevent removals.
The leadership on display in Munich is as night and day to the scenes in the aftermath of Southport, where a news blackout from the British Government – caught in an excess of legalistic caution – allowed a void for conspiracy theory and fuelled deep suspicion. German political leaders appear to have learnt their lessons and taken a different approach to past attacks, bringing basic facts into the public domain quickly, no matter how uncomfortable they were. In contrast our Prime Minister went to great lengths to deny a terror-related motive, and then refused to correct the public record even after being informed privately.
Where German political leaders expressed sympathy for the public anger, we were treated to the sight of our Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, smearing Brits who asked whether the attacker was known to the security services – who could smell something was up – as “conspiracy theorists”.
The German Interior Minister wasted no time getting to the nub of the issue, stressing the importance of deporting violent criminals. Yet in the aftermath of Southport our political class largely dodged important questions about the risk of violence from migrants emigrating from conflict areas, and distracted ourselves with absurd debates about changing the shape of knives. Don’t worry, banning pointed knives – turning every kitchen into a Fisher Price toy-set – will solve the problem, we were told.
It felt as through the Labour Government did not trust the British public with information on migration that challenged the prevailing elite orthodoxy. The public are sick of being infantilised, fobbed off or lied to about the reality of immigration. Nor is this approach likely to work in an age when most of us consume our news online, not in the controlled media of old.
This is a timely reminder for the British Government. With trust in the authorities on crime and immigration ebbing away, we need an altogether more transparent approach. Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism laws, has come forward with sensible proposals to ensure information is provided in a way that does not collapse a trial, but prizes openness and transparency with the public. They have not been implemented.
