Two people were killed and nearly 40 others were injured when an Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a union march. The police said the driver confessed.

A mother, 37, and her two-year-old daughter have died, two days after a car was driven into a crowd of people in the Germany city of Munich, police have said. At least 37 people were injured in the attack, a number of them seriously.

A car plowed into demonstrators in Munich on Thursday injuring at least 28 people, in what a local official said was a suspected attack, shortly before world leaders were due in the southern German city for a high-level security conference.
