Berlin, Feb 21 (UNI) The shooting in the city of Hanau is a racially motivated terrorist attack, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said on Friday.
On Wednesday, a 43-year old German national opened fire in two hookah parlors in the Hesse region's city of Hanau, murdering nine people.
"This is definitely a terrorist attack motivated by racism. This is the third terrorist attack caused by right-wing views in Germany in the last several months, following the Walter Lubcke assassination and the Halle synagogue attack," Seehofer said at a press conference.
