A Munich court has sentenced a 25-year-old Afghan man to life in prison for a car ramming attack that killed two people. The sentencing was first reported by Yahoo, The Times of Israel, AP News, BBC and The New York Times. The attack occurred in Munich. The man's identity has not been released.

The man was convicted of murder and attempted murder. The court found that he intentionally drove into a crowd, causing the deaths of two people and injuring several others. The prosecution had sought a life sentence, arguing that the attack was premeditated and carried out with the intent to cause maximum harm. The defense had argued for a lesser sentence, citing the man's mental state at the time of the attack.

The sentencing comes after a lengthy trial that began earlier this year. The trial heard testimony from witnesses and experts, including psychologists who testified about the man's mental health. The court ultimately found that the man was capable of understanding the consequences of his actions and was therefore responsible for his crimes.
