Terror at Berlin CSD: FBI Warned of Pride Attacks as Early as 2024
On July 26, 2026, a man drove a car into participants at the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade in Berlin, leaving 16 people seriously injured and one woman dead. Police are treating it as an attack and searching for the perpetrator. The article notes that the FBI had issued a warning in 2024 about potential attacks on Pride events by foreign terrorist organizations or their supporters, citing Islamic State rhetoric against LGBTQI+ venues. It also references a foiled attack on Vienna's CSD in 2023 and the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. A report by the research network ReGA found that in 2025, only 110 out of 243 CSDs and Pride events in Germany occurred without documented incidents, highlighting a rise in anti-queer attacks and right-wing extremist counter-demonstrations.
