German police say Syrian suspect confesses to knife rampage | DW News

German prosecutors on Sunday released the name of the 26-year-old Syrian man suspected of a multiple stabbing attack in the western city of Solingen that killed three people and injured eight others. Issa Al H., who was identified without his family name due to German privacy laws, was flown by helicopter to the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe for his first hearing.Al H. was remanded in custody on suspicion of murder and membership of the so-called "Islamic State" (IS) group, among other charges, the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office said. IS claimed responsibility for Friday's attack, saying it was in "revenge for Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere." But the group did not provide evidence and it is not possible to verify the claim.
