[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors say man who attacked anti-Islam rally in western city of Mannheim in May harbors ‘sympathy’ for ISIS and ‘shares its ideology’
An Afghan man has been charged with killing a police officer and wounding several others in an Islamist-inspired knife attack earlier this year that shocked Germany, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The attack in the western city of Mannheim in late May took place just before the scheduled start of a rally organized by Pax Europa, a campaign group against radical Islam.
The suspect, named as Sulaiman A., harbors "sympathy" for the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group and "shares its ideology," federal prosecutors said in a statement.
He showed up at the city’s market square armed with a large hunting knife and intended to carry out an attack on those he considered "infidels" or unbelievers, they said. He "pounced on a police officer who had rushed to the scene and stabbed him forcefully and deliberately in the head and upper body," the statement said.
The officer died as a result of his severe injuries. The other victims also suffered injuries, some of them potentially life-threatening, the prosecutors said.
At the time of the attack, Der Spiegel magazine reported that Sulaiman A. was a 25-year-old who was born in Herat

The stabbing revived debate in Germany about deporting serious criminals even if they come from countries deemed unsafe, including Afghanistan and Syria.
In August, Germany carried out its first deportation of Afghans convicted of criminal offenses to their home country since the Taliban

Germany’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office announced on Wednesday that Afghan asylum seeker Suleiman Atayi

has been formally charged with the murder of a German police officer and injuring several others. According to the prosecutor, Atayi has shown “sympathy” and “ideological alignment” with ISIS.
Suleiman Atayi, a 25-year-old from Herat, Afghanistan, allegedly attacked an anti-Islam rally in Mannheim earlier this year in mid-June, killing one police officer and injuring five civilians.
In a separate incident, a 22-year-old Afghan man attacked police with a knife in mid-June on the island of Rügen in northeastern Germany.
