I see that some news links are linking this incident with Brevnik style attack.
Very recently we had similar attacks in Nice and Germany (on train).
All these had common theme that attacker was muslim migrant.
So there are following possibilities (as root cause)
1. muslim migrants has problem integrating with society
2. each attack is isolated (especially this very incident) or linked with far right like brevnik.
Now if [1] is true it indicates Merkel (and EU in general) has a problem with her immigration policy on refugees. This would put Merkel in difficult position (expecially immediately after train attack earlier) and cause huge public backlash.
But if [2] is true, then Merkel/EU are in better position and can divert public attention from the other root cause.
