Second suspect in Berlin pride attack released, prosecutors say

-

BERLIN, July ‌27 (Reuters) - A second suspect ​detained in connection with a deadly car-ramming ⁠attack on Berlin's Pride celebrations over the weekend has been released, ​the German federal prosecutors' office said on ‌Monday.

"We continue to investigate broadly," the prosecutors' office told Reuters and declined to ⁠comment further.

Spiegel on Monday ⁠cited sources as saying that authorities released the person because initial suspicion that he was a ‌passenger in the vehicle at the ⁠time of the attack ‌could not be upheld.

The ​ramming attack, killing one person, happened in the Tiergarten park near ‌the Brandenburg Gate at ​about 10 ⁠p.m. (2000 GMT) on Saturday, not far ‌from annual ⁠Christopher Street Day celebrations.

The suspected driver, a 21-year-old man with a record ​of Islamist extremist ‌activity, was shot dead in Berlin ⁠on Sunday.
