Munich Attack: 18 year old killer created fake Facebook page offering Free McDonalds to lure teens to attack scene
According to reports, Sonboly created a fake Facebook profile under the alias Selina Akim to entice youngsters to the centre’s McDonald’s branch, before starting his shooting spree at around 6.30pm on Friday.
During a press conference on Saturday morning, Munich Police President Hubertus Andrae confirmed the Police force were looking at Ali David Sonboly's Facebook page.
Police gave a "cautious all clear" early on Saturday morning, more than seven hours after the attack began, and brought much of the city to a standstill as all public transit systems were shut down amid a massive manhunt. They said a body found near the scene was that of the shooter and he appeared to have acted alone.
Five of the attacker’s victims are adolescents – sparking fears it was a revenge attack for teens who bullied him.
Police say the motives of the attacker are still 'unclear' at the moment and it may be connected or unconnected to foreign terror groups like ISIS.
This is the third major act of violence against civilians in Western Europe in eight days. The previous attacks, in the French resort city of Nice and on a train in Bavaria near the city of Wuerzburg, were claimed by Terrorist group ISIS.

Italian court jails 3 members of a Nigerian crime gang for attempted murder, armed robbery and drug-dealing
In Sicily, they used mafia techniques in carrying out attempted murder, armed robbery, bodily harm, prostitution, extortion and drug-dealing, and answered to Italy's most storied mafia organisation, the Cosa Nostra, as if they were its subjects, prosecutors said. State prosecutors in Palermo say the mafia brings in drugs and the Nigerians distribute the among both Italian and African clients.
The court's verdict, reached on Wednesday, July 20 and made available on Friday, handed down sentences of 12 years and four months to the gang's boss and just over 10 years each to two others.
The group is believed to have attacked two people with bottles and axes late one night in January 2014 in Palermo's Ballaro street market, where police later found the victims with gashed foreheads.
The Black Axe was among several secret societies that took hold in Nigerian universities in the 1990s, allegedly attacking people on campus with guns and knives, raping women who refused to pay protection money and engaging in blood-drinking rituals.
Prostitution is thought to be one of the most profitable businesses for the Nigerian gangs.
According to police data, 90% of prostitutes in Palermo come from Nigeria.

What Presidential directive? Nigeria Custom, boss Hamid Ali flies first class from London which cost about N3.4m
The move is a clear violation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive banning public officials from flying first class.The president had earlier this year directed the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, to issue a circular to all government agencies barring top officials from travelling first class, a measure put in place to cut the high cost of travelling by public officials.
According to PREMIUM TIMES:
The BA flight BA83 which took off from Gate 43 of Heathrow Terminal 5, London, on Tuesday, nearly an hour behind its scheduled 10.43pm departure time, arrived the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Wednesday morning at about 5a.m, with Mr. Ali on board.
The reasons for Mr. Ali’s travel to London remained unknown as at the time of publishing this report, but customs insiders said the trip was official.
Several passengers on the flight told PREMIUM TIMES they saw Mr. Ali seated in the First Class compartment of the aircraft during the flight.
"It was a major talking point among some passengers whether the policy (barring public officials from flying first class) is being implemented with exceptions or whether it is meant for the shelves," one passenger on the flight told this newspaper.There were notable Nigerians on board and a number of them confirmed to this newspaper that the customs comptroller-general was in the first class cabin of the aircraft during the flight.
A first class ticket to and from London costs $11,423.23 (about N3.4million).
Besides being a close friend of Mr. Buhari, Mr. Ali, a retired army colonel, is a man seen by many Nigerian as frugal and incorruptible.
When PREMIUM TIMES contacted the customs spokesperson, Wale Adeniyi, on Thursday, he confirmed Mr. Ali was on the BA flight, but that he travelled on a business class ticket. Mr. Adeniyi was not on the flight, and he responded to our reporter’s enquiry without checking with Mr. Ali. But our sources, some of whom travelled business class, said Mr. Adeniyi’s claim was inaccurate.
"That is not true,"one passenger said. "I was on business class, and I was awake most of the flight. So if you line up those on business class during that flight, I can identify them."

The search and rescue vessel run in partnership between Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) and SOS MEDITERRANEE also rescued 209 people from the dinghies. The rescued include two pregnant women and 50 children, of whom 45 were travelling without parents or guardians.
The bodies were brought to port of Trapani, Sicily on Friday, July 2 as fellow migrants described scenes of panic and violence when water poured into their dinghy. Some survivors had bite marks, testimony to a desperate struggle onboard to escape death.
"I kept asking for help. Nobody would help. They were climbing on me to stay out of the water. I thought I would die," a 24-year-old Nigerian woman named Mary told MSF.
"I had to bite to be able to breathe. The woman I bit stood up. Men were standing on top of me. A woman stood on my face ... A woman who was pregnant died. We were under the water together." said Mary.
"You can tell it from the nail scratches on people's arms and legs, but also we had 10 people with human bites on arms, a back and also on the lower back and ankles," she said.Mary told MSF she had been held in prison in Libya - immigrants are often arrested there - for two months before finding a place on the dinghy. Rijnierse said she believed many of the victims had been detained prior to the trip and were too weak to fight their way off the floor.
"They rape there. They are looking for young girls, you cannot say no, they have guns, shout, speak in their language," Mary said, describing her ordeal in the prison before she managed to escape and meet up with her husband.Another Nigerian survivor, a 30-year-old man called David, urged would-be migrants not to make the journey.
"Taking the boat is very dangerous. That is the truth," he said, adding: "I feel bad about the women who died. It wasn't supposed to happen." he said.Nearly 3,000 migrants and refugees have died in the Mediterranean Sea this year while trying to reach Europe - three quarters of them en route from north Africa to Italy, the International Organization for Migration said on Friday. Just over 80,000 people, mainly from Africa, have reached Italy since Jan. 1, more or less in line with last year's numbers, according to official figures.

Saudi billionaire dies two weeks after his supermodel ex-wife was awarded £75m in divorce settlement
Her ex-husband, billionaire Sheikh Walid Juffali passed away in Zurich on Wednesday following a lengthy battle with cancer.
Dr Juffali, was chairman and heir of EA Juffali and Brothers, one of Saudi Arabia's most successful companies.
Ms Estrada met the businessman in 2000 and got married soon after, then they had a daughter together. However the marriage ran into difficulty after Dr Juffali's decision in 2012 to marry a 25-year-old Lebanese model, who is now the mother of his two youngest children, while still married to Ms Estrada. The sheikh divorced Ms Estrada in Saudi Arabia in 2014 under Islamic law without her knowledge.
Earlier this month Ms Estrada, took the 61-year-old to the High Court where her fight for a share of his fortune became one of the highest-stakes divorce battles of its kind.
Ms Estrada claimed her 'needs' included £1million for clothes, £40,000 for fur coats, £109,000 for haute couture dresses and £21,000 for shoes every year.
She told family judge Mrs Justice Roberts: ‘I am Christina Estrada.
'I was a top international model. I have lived this life. This is what I am accustomed to.’ Her lawyers estimated her ex-husband was worth £8billion.
Rather than the £196 million she demanded for her husband's lawyers offered £75million but rejected the offer which, added to her own assets, would have given her some £37million to live on.
Ms Estrada, who is in St tropez, has reportedly been informed of her husband's death this week and was said by friends to be 'devastated' at the news.
However the court hearing was brought forward due to his worsening health. High Court Family Division judge Mrs Justice Roberts had ordered Dr Juffali to pay Ms Estrada the lump sum by 4pm on Friday, July 29, however this could now be subject to a delay while his affairs are put in order. Dr Juffali's death will not affect the settlement. It is now legally binding and he will have to still pay her the money.
She was ultimately awarded a £53million cash settlement at London's High Court - with lawyers saying the payout is worth £75million when assets she has already been given are taken into account.
Her lawyers said the award she received was 'by more than £50million the largest needs award ever made by an English court'.
But Dr Juffali had said in a written statement before he died said in his statement that he had left the vast majority of his wealth to his three oldest children, including his daughter with Ms Estrada, now a teenager, who cannot be identified.
