German authorities knew of Berlin Pride attacker's extremist past before the attack

The man who attacked a gay Pride event in Berlin was a German citizen previously imprisoned for attempting to join the Islamic State. He was released just weeks before the attack, despite authorities being aware of his extremist history. The case has raised serious questions about Germany's monitoring of released terror-related prisoners.
