Berlin Holocaust Memorial stabbing suspect wanted to kill Jewish people, prosecutors say

Evidence so far suggests the attack was linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to investigators



A stabbing occurred at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial, where the suspect, a Syrian refugee who arrived in 2023, allegedly targeted Jewish people. He approached police with blood, indicating his involvement. The attack happened near the national election, and the memorial is a significant site. The suspect's mental health is under investigation, and he had no prior criminal record. Recent attacks in Germany, including one by an Afghan immigrant and a Saudi man, have been linked to immigrants. Additionally, an 18-year-old Chechen was arrested for planning an attack on the Israeli embassy, with reports suggesting he intended to join the Islamic State.
