Shooting at Israel's Munich consulate seen as attempted terror attack

Munich [Germany], September 6: The deadly shooting near the Israeli consulate in Munich was an attempted terrorist attack, police and the public prosecutor's office said on Thursday.
The incident saw an 18-year-old Austrian shot dead by police after opening fire on five officers in the southern German city. No one else was hurt, the police said.
Prosecutors said on Thursday afternoon that the attack is believed to have targeted the Israeli consulate in central Munich. The incident took place on the anniversary of the Munich massacre, a terrorist attack by Palestinian militants which claimed the lives of 11 Israelis during the 1972 Olympic Games in the city.
The young man, with roots in Bosnia, was from the Salzburg region and had been investigated last year on suspicion that he had become religiously radicalized and was interested in explosives and weapons, Austrian police said. (DPA)
