FRANKFURT, Aug 25 (Reuters) - A suspect in German police custody following a stabbing rampage in the city of Solingen that killed three people and injured eight is a 26-year-old Syrian man, authorities said on Sunday as they looked into his possible links with Islamic State.
The incident, along with the militant group's claim of responsibility, sparked concern among some politicians who urged enhanced security, tighter curbs on weapons, stiffer punishment for violent crimes, and limits to immigration.
The attack occurred during a festival on Friday evening in the Fronhof, a market square, where live bands were playing to celebrate Solingen's 650-year history. Mourners have made a makeshift memorial near the scene. The suspect turned himself in late on Saturday and admitted to the crime, Duesseldorf police and prosecutors said in a joint statement early on Sunday.
"The involvement of this person is currently under intensive investigation," they said.
The suspect came from a home for refugees in Solingen that was searched on Saturday, North Rhine-Westphalia's interior minister, Herbert Reul, said.
Der Spiegel magazine, citing unidentified security sources, said the suspected had moved to Germany late in 2022 and sought asylum.

Was there ever any doubt?
“Welcome refugees”…
BTTT
....ahhhh.....”The religion of peace” at work again...
Hey! The horses got out. We better close the barn doors!
Maybe it's way past time to do that.
Maybe it is time to start talking DEPORTING Muslims.
Maybe it is time to stop using the word Islamophobia.
Phobias are irrational fears. If you have plenty of rational reasons to fear something it isn't a phobia.
Islam is an aggressive cancer in the West and it is spreading death and misery everywhere it goes.
And maybe it is time to start electing Christians to public office again.
Secular Humanism has been a consummate failure. Wokeism is deadly failure. COEXIST is a failure. DEI is a failure.
Diversity is strength only in thought and opinion, it is not in culture. A common culture is necessary to have a cohesive community and nation.
I think the Native American experience speaks to the risk in allowing too much immigration.
Uh...
I'd suggest tighter curbs on ...
I think the authorities desperately seek a link to any terrorist organization. This is because their terror and something they know full well is, each and every Muslim wants to kill non-Muslims. They aren’t all brave enough to do it unless they can’t be detected. (There have been several Muslim doctors in the UK who were caught killing their patients during surgery.)
Islam is a crowd funded, self-actuating Jihad against all things Western. They’ll even attack other Muslims who might believe something slightly different. But in general, the Muslim vs. Muslim war will come after the West has been beaten into submission.
The “diversity is good” thing is right up there with Global Warming and Net-zero as bull$hit stuff forced on us by our elite overseers.
The event was called the festival of diversity dating back 650 yrs,ironic
See tag line
Instead of adding ‘limits on immigration’, they (and we) ought to be adding ‘unlimited deportation’ as a policy. Demographically, the corner has been turned, and honestly, there are only two ways to to correct the course of Western Civilization: remove all of those who are not citizens from our nations, or defeat them in a civil war. The former would allow some to remain, but conditions that would cause them to leave on their own accord could be afterwards created. Kinda like the way productive, decent citizens are being driven from California.
What???? An Arab Muslim military age male???? Color me shocked!
One of the 5 million “refugees” loosed onto Europe in 2011-2015 by Obama’s attempted overthrow of Assad?
Sure a lot of stabby types in those European newcomers. Glad Mexicans and Central Americans aren’t like that. /s
trying to remember my German for: ‘you shall reap what you sow...’.

Shocking! 🙄
“The attack occurred during a festival on Friday evening in the Fronhof, a market square, where live bands were playing to celebrate Solingen’s 650-year history.”
Rooters fails to mention that the festival was also celebrating diversity.
I must confess I had a touch of schadenfreude at reading that.
Agree on all points.
