The terrorist Islamic State today claimed responsibility for the attack on Friday evening in the German city of Solingen, when the attacker killed three people with a knife and wounded eight, reports Reuters.
According to Bild, German investigators are checking this information.
Earlier today, the German newspaper Velt reported a police report, in which the words of an eyewitness are quoted, who said that the attacker shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the bloody feast, and that he often visited the local mosque in Zolingen.
The assailant is still being sought, and the German police announced today that a teenager (15) has been arrested who is linked to the attack at the festival in Solingen.
The police stated at the press conference that there are indications that the attacker stabbed the victims with a knife, especially in the neck.
"After evaluating the first images, we assume that it was a very targeted attack in the neck," said police director Torsten Fleiss at a press conference, reports Tanjug.
It is suspected that the teenager knew about the attack in advance, but did not report it to the police, reports Bild.
