Asylum seeker who killed three people and wounded 10 others at ‘festival of diversity’ in Germany pleads guilty

A Syrian asylum seeker has pleaded guilty to killing three people and wounding 10 others in a knife attack at a festival in Germany last year.

Issa Al Hasan, 27, admitted his guilt as his trial began at the higher regional court in Düsseldorf.

The attack, which took place at a street festival celebrating the western city of Solingen’s 650th anniversary in August 2024, was later claimed by the Islamic State group.
