Scholz says Afghan suspect in 'awful' attack must be punished and deported

An Afghan suspect arrested after a car ramming attack in Munich must be punished to the full extent of the law and then expelled from Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Thursday.

"What has happened is awful," Scholz told reporters. "From my point of view it is quite clear, this attacker cannot count on any mercy, he must be punished and he must leave the country."
