Hamburg's Pride parade, one of Germany's largest, took place with heightened security measures, including twice as many officers, a week after a fatal extremist attack near Berlin's Pride event. The Berlin CSD truck participated, asking attendees to wear dark clothing in respect for the victims of the July 25 attack, which killed one woman and injured others. The 21-year-old suspect, Abdul Ballout, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, was killed by police.
