The 26-year-old Syrian suspected of Friday night's knife attack in Solingen, which left three dead and eight injured, has confessed, police said. According to Bild, the man turned himself in to authorities just over 24 hours after the attack. In the rain and still covered in blood, the man approached the police shortly after 11 p.m., telling them: “I am the one you are looking for.” Shortly before, police had raided a center for asylum seekers, arresting another 36-year-old Syrian. But he was not “the one we had in our sights from the beginning,” North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul said shortly before midnight. Yesterday, the self-proclaimed Islamic State jihadist group – better known as IS – claimed responsibility for the massacre: “This is revenge for the Muslims killed in Palestine.” “The perpetrator of the attack on a gathering of Christians in the German city of Solingen yesterday was a soldier of the Islamic State group,” the statement, published on Telegram, read. German police, for reasons of investigation, have never disclosed the identity of the man.
