German authorities reveal Munich terror plot by Belgrade attacker

German investigators have revealed that Dario N., the 18-year-old who died following an attack on an Israeli embassy in Belgrade, had previously planned a terrorist attack in Munich. According to reports from Bild, the suspect had been living in Munich with his father since 2022, where he reportedly radicalized and converted to Islam.

Bavarian prosecutors investigated the suspect for allegedly scouting St. Jacob's Square and attempting to acquire weapons to carry out an antisemitic attack on the Jewish Museum in Munich. Authorities also suspect he published Islamic State symbols and obtained instructions for conducting attacks. Following his arrest in June, he was deported to Serbia in July.

In Belgrade, the suspect was killed by police after attacking an officer with knives outside the Israeli embassy while shouting religious slogans. Serbian officials, including former Interior Minister Ivica Dačić, stated that security services were aware of his links to Islamic State. The Belgrade Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime is investigating the incident as an act of terrorism.
