A Syrian national has been indicted in Berlin for aiding and abetting a 2025 knife attack at the Holocaust Memorial that left a Spanish tourist critically injured.
A Syrian national, Khalaf A., has been indicted for his alleged involvement in the 2025 stabbing incident at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial. According to the chief federal prosecutor, Khalaf A. aided and abetted attempted murder and caused dangerous bodily harm by assisting Wassim Al M., the accused assailant, in planning the attack.
Al M. attacked a man with a knife at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, leaving the victim with life-threatening injuries. Al M. was previously convicted and sentenced to 13 years in prison for the attack, which prosecutors allege was motivated by radical Islamist and antisemitic beliefs.
