(AFP) Germany said Tuesday it was considering allowing deportations to Afghanistan after an asylum seeker from the country killed a police officer and wounded five others in a knife attack.
Deportations to Afghanistan have been stopped since the Taliban retook power in 2021.
But Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said Tuesday that officials had been carrying out an “intensive review for several months … to allow the deportation of serious criminals and dangerous individuals to Afghanistan.
“It is clear to me that people who pose a potential threat to Germany’s security must be deported quickly,” Faeser added.
