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, seriously injuring 16 people and killing one woman. Police are treating it as an attack and searching for the perpetrator. The article notes that the FBI had warned as early as 2024 that foreign terrorist organizations or their supporters might target Pride events, citing IS rhetoric against LGBTQI+ events and the 2023 foiled attack on Vienna CSD. It also references the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. A June 2026 report by the research network ReGA found that only 110 out of 243 CSD and Pride events in Germany took place without documented incidents, with many facing right-wing extremist gatherings, disruptions, or attacks. The article highlights a rising trend of anti-queer violence and backlash in Germany.
