Assault with a knife - Interior Minister suggests Islamism likely motivator for Mannheim offenders
Authorities in Mannheim are investigating a knife attack that allegedly had an Islamist motivation. According to Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU), the evidence is pointing towards this being an Islamist-extremist motivated crime. At this time, there is no evidence suggesting that the suspect is a part of any larger group. Instead, he may be a lone wolf, which poses a unique threat due to their lack of communication with other extremists and their difficulty to monitor. The 25-year-old suspect was not previously known to the police.
