Solingen Islamist knife attacker should have been deported
The knife attacker who killed three people and injured eight others at a city festival in Solingen was actually supposed to be deported. As the Bild newspaper reported on Sunday, the Syrian Issa al H. entered the EU via Bulgaria, but only applied for asylum in Germany in 2022 - which was rejected.
When he found out about this, the suspected Islamist is said to have gone into hiding, only to report back to the authorities six months later. Since the so-called transfer period within which the man should have been taken out of the country had already expired by then, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees issued him with a "subsidiary protection status". This is actually only issued if the asylum seeker is expected to face serious danger in his home country.
Terrorist organization IS claims responsibility for Solingen attack
On Friday evening, the 26-year-old stabbed three people to death and injured eight others, some seriously, with a knife at a town festival in Solingen. Several of his victims are still in critical condition because the Syrian deliberately aimed for their necks during his attack. In the general panic, the knife attacker initially went into hiding , but then turned himself in to the police on Saturday evening.
At about the same time, the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS) described the migrant in a statement circulating online as a "soldier" who had attacked a "gathering of Christians" in order to take revenge "for the Muslims in Palestine and everywhere else." The last time IS publicly claimed responsibility for an attack in Germany was in 2016, when the Islamist Anis Amri attacked a Christmas market at Berlin's Breitscheidplatz with a truck and killed 13 people.
