German police arrested an Afghan asylum seeker after he rammed a car into a crowd in Munich on February 13, injuring 28 people. The incident comes just before the high-profile Munich Security Conference and 10 days before German elections in which migration is a major political issue. One Afghan journalist told RFE/RL that many in his community fear a growing backlash against migrants fueled by this incident and others.
