A 26-year-old Syrian man surrendered to police, confessing to a mass knife attack at a street festival in Solingen, Germany. The attack killed three people and injured eight, with four victims in critical condition. The Islamic State claimed responsibility but provided no evidence. The attacker, who arrived in Germany in December 2022, was arrested in blood-stained clothes. Police are investigating potential terrorist links. Solingen’s 650-year anniversary celebrations, expected to draw 75,000 attendees, were canceled following the incident. Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned the attack as a "horrific act." A fifteen-year-old boy linked to the suspect was also detained.
