expressing sympathy for the casualties of the Solingen bombing alongside Steinmeier and Scholz
At a weekly city event, a vicious stabbing resulted in the tragic loss of three lives and left eight individuals, some severely hurt, in Solingen. The prime suspect, a 26-year-old Syrian national, was apprehended over the weekend. German federal investigators posit that the incident may have been driven by extremist Islamic motivations.
The City of Solingen announced a cancellation of this year's city festival due to the recent tragic incident, seeking to ensure public safety. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, organizers are planning to commemorate the victims at the festival next year.
