Teen Stands Trial for #Daesh Police Stabbing in #Germany

Local Editor

A teenage girl went on trial in Germany Thursday for stabbing a police officer, an assault allegedly "ordered" by Daesh [ISIS/ISIL] but which was not claimed by the group.


Safia S., 16, was in the dock in the northern city of Celle, with the court due to decide whether the proceedings would take place behind closed doors because she is a minor.

The German-Moroccan national risks 10 years in prison for "attempted murder, grievous bodily harm and support for a foreign terrorist organization."

Prosecutors said the teenager, who is believed to have been radicalized as a young girl, had sought to catch the attention of police officers by following them around at the main train station in the northern city of Hanover.
