00:00Police in Berlin say the suspect in a stabbing attack at the Holocaust Memorial on Friday
00:07that seriously injured a Spanish tourist is a Syrian refugee who apparently wanted to
00:12kill Jews.
00:14The investigation reportedly points to a link between the attack and the conflict in the
00:18Middle East.
00:20Prosecutors said that evidence so far, particularly from what the unnamed man told police, suggests
00:25that he had decided in the last few weeks to kill Jews.
00:30The 19-year-old suspect was arrested on Friday, almost three hours after the attack, when
00:35he approached officers with blood on his hands and clothes.
00:39He arrived in Germany in 2023 as an unaccompanied minor and successfully applied for asylum.
00:46The attack took place two days before snap parliamentary elections in Germany in which
00:50migration has become a top issue.
00:54That comes after five deadly attacks involving immigrants over the past nine months.
