Germany Charges Islamic Extremist Murder, Netherlands Mourning
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
AMSTERDAM/BERLIN/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Germany’s top prosecutor has charged an alleged Islamic extremist with “murder, attempted murder and membership in a terrorist organization abroad” following a deadly knife attack last year at a festival in the western German city of Solingen.
The August 24 violence left three dead and 10 wounded at a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.
News about the case came as neighboring Netherlands is reeling from deadly knife attacks.
Investigators said a 29-year-old man has been arrested following the fatal stabbing of an 11-year-old girl in the Dutch central city of Nieuwegein.
Police confirmed the man had Dutch and Moroccan nationality, fueling anger within the country’s largest anti-Islam Partij Party for Freedom.
Party leader Geert Wilders said this multicultural violence would destroy the “Netherlands,” prompting an angry response from opposition party Denk (“Think”), who accused him of spreading hatred.
SILENT MARCH
On Saturday, at a massive silent march, mourners remembered 13-year-old Joni from the Dutch city of Schiedam, who was also fatally stabbed.
Joni took his last breath last Sunday after being attacked by another teenager whose details have not been released.
Yet the stabbings, including those carried out by extreme Muslims, have added to a sense of insecurity among Europeans.
Authorities in the Netherlands warned of possible Islamic attacks during massive carnival events and a festival in the port city of Rotterdam.
Back in Germany, prosecutors said the alleged perpetrator shared the “radical ideology of the Islamic State extremist group.”
Wilders and others say many more attacks are possible as extremists are among the millions of mainly Muslim migrants feeling war, persecution, and poverty.
