(AFP) A Syrian man who was arrested at the scene of a stabbing that killed a teen and wounded five others in Austria has admitted terror offences, prosecutors said on Monday.
The 23-year-old suspect was detained in February in the southern city of Villach after what officials described as an “Islamist attack with Islamic State connections.”
A fellow Syrian asylum seeker, a food deliverer, stopped the attack by ramming a car into the attacker. A 14-year-old boy died and five others were wounded.
Announcing charges, prosecutors said that the suspect had admitted “committing terrorist offences,” including murder.
