Radical ideologies - Steinmeier recalls slain police officer in Mannheim.

Steinmeier, the Federal President, honored slain officer Rouven Laur in Mannheim's Market Square. Joined by Winfried Kretschmann, Minister President from the Greens, and Thomas Strobl, State Interior Minister from the CDU, they observed a moment of silence at 11:34 am, as requested by the Baden-Württemberg police. The incident occurred a week ago when a 25-year-old Afghan wounded five members of the anti-Islamic group Pax Europa and the 29-year-old officer with a knife. Day before yesterday, Laur succumbed to his injuries.

At the very spot where the tragedy unfolded, Steinmeier placed a wreath of flowers. The bereaved city of Mannheim, home to 300,000 residents, drew a crowd to mourn the fallen. Statewide, police officers stood with heavy hearts in solemn remembrance.
