The 26-year-old Syrian, who is said to have attacked several people with a knife in a Duisburg gym in April, may have planned another attack. This emerges from confidential documents that are available to “Spiegel.”
According to these documents, after the arrest of the 26-year-old, the police found notes in the Syrian’s apartment on which the composition of explosives and poison gases was written in Arabic script. In addition, notes were found on which sections of the Koran were written by hand. “The passages are said to have been explicitly directed against unbelievers,” writes “Spiegel.”
According to police information, the 26-year-old suspect attacked four people with a knife on April 18 in a gym in downtown Duisburg. One of the victims was life-threatening, two others seriously injured. In addition, the Syrian is suspected of having stabbed a 35-year-old man in the old town of Duisburg on the night of Easter Sunday (April 9).
By the end of April, there was already a suspicion that these were terrorist-motivated acts. The federal prosecutor’s office then got involved in the investigation. The authority in Karlsruhe is responsible for criminal prosecution in the area of state security, including crimes in the area of terrorism.
