(Swiss Info) The 15-year-old who attacked an orthodox Jewish man in Zurich on March 2 became radicalised in Tunisia and on internet forums, Zurich’s security director said on Monday.
Investigations are still progressing in earnest, Mario Fehr said at the presentation of Zurich’s crime statistics. It is now reasonably clear where the teenager became radicalised. “There is a strong link to Tunisia,” Fehr said.
The young person had lived in Tunisia between 2017 and 2021. Another important factor was internet forums promoting radicalisation, where he spent a lot of time.
Fehr once again described the knife attack on the orthodox Jewish man from Zurich as a terrorist attack.
