Extremist group "Islamic State" ; took responsibility for the knife attack in the western German city of Solingen, in which three people were killed yesterday, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
In a statement on his account on the network "Telegram" the group said the attack was carried out by one of its members "in revenge for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere". However, she did not provide any evidence to support her claim and it remains unclear whether there is a link between the attacker and IS, and how close, if any, it is.
The attack, in which a man killed three people and wounded eight, was carried out yesterday in the central square "Fronhof" in Solingen, during a festival to mark the city's 650th anniversary. There was a stage on the square where bands played.
The police are looking for the attacker. She reported that she detained a 15-year-old youth and is checking to see if he is related to the attacker.
