German prosecutors have named the man suspected of carrying out a knife attack at a festival that killed three people and injured eight.
The Syrian national Issa Al H is accused of being “a member of a terrorist organisation abroad”, saying he shares the “ideology of Islamic State” (IS).
He has also been charged with three counts of murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm in eight cases.
A 56-year-old woman and two men, aged 56 and 67, died following the attack in the city of Solingen on Friday.
The 26-year-old, who had applied for asylum, handed himself in to police following a large-scale overnight manhunt involving several police forces and special units after the incident.
The IS has already claimed responsibility for the attack, with a security source telling the IS-affiliated media arm Amaq Agency that the suspect “was a soldier from the Islamic State, and he carried it out as revenge against Muslims in Palestine and everywhere”.
The group did not provide any evidence supporting its claims.
