German train ax attack puts Merkel migrant policy back in spotlight
By Jens Hack MUNICH (Reuters) – A young Afghan who attacked passengers on a train in Bavaria with an ax had entered Germany last summer with a wave of migrants, officials said on Tuesday, raising more questions about Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door refugee policy. The 17-year-old, who a witness said shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) during the attack, severely wounded four Hong Kong residents on the train late on Monday, then injured a local woman after fleeing, before police shot him dead. The case is likely to deepen worries about so-called “lone wolf” attacks in Europe and could put political pressure on Merkel, who has welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants to Germany over the past year.
