Germany's top prosecutor has charged a suspected Islamic extremist with murder, attempted murder and membership in a terrorist organization abroad in connection with a deadly knife attack last year at a festival in the western German city of Solingen.
The Aug. 24 violence left three dead and 10 wounded at a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary. Prosecutors previously said the alleged perpetrator shared the radical ideology of the Islamic State extremist group — and was acting on those beliefs when he stabbed his victims repeatedly from behind in the head and upper body.
