Militant group claims responsibility

Islamic State claimed responsibility Saturday for a knife attack at a festival in Germany that left three people dead and eight hurt, according to reports.

The terrifying attack, which caused panic at the event in Solingen, was “in revenge for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere,” the militant group said on its Telegram account.

The attacker has been on the run for almost 24 hours.

A 15-year-old was arrested Saturday in connection with the German incident, authorities said.

Police cautioned the young suspect was not the attacker — but instead had been accused of failing to report a crime, according to CNN
