Melech 9,900 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 "FRANKFURT — German authorities are investigating a claim by jihadist group Islamic State to be behind the mid-October murder of a teenage boy in Hamburg, a police spokeswoman said Sunday. IS-affiliated news agency Amaq reported on Saturday that the jihadist group had claimed responsibility for the October 16 knife attack. “A soldier of the Islamic State stabbed two individuals in Hamburg city on the 16th of this month,” the release said, in response to “calls to target the citizens of coalition countries” that are fighting IS in Iraq and Syria. “We are looking into the authenticity of the IS claim of responsibility,” the police spokeswoman told AFP. One victim, a 16-year-old boy, was fatally wounded, while a 15-year-old girl who was with him escaped unharmed after the attacker shoved her into the water. Police launched a dragnet but never found the man, described as aged 23-25 and of “southern” appearance. “The motive for the crime is unknown and is the subject of further investigation,” the October 17 police statement said. IS’s claim of responsibility included no further details about the attack or the perpetrator. The German air force is participating in the anti-IS bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria with in-air refueling and reconnaissance flights. June saw a group of men arrested on suspicion of planning a bomb attack on western regional capital Düsseldorf, while another suspected bomb-maker was arrested in eastern Saxony state in October but later killed himself in his cell." http://www.timesofisrael.com/islamic-state-says-it-was-behind-murder-of-german-teen/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
