Syrian teen ‘ISIS supporter slit tourist’s throat at German Holocaust memorial then screamed ‘Allahu akbar’ in bid to wage ‘holy war’ against infidels’
By Olivia Allhusen, Daily Mail, 20 November 2025
A Syrian teenage ISIS supporter who allegedly slit a man’s throat at a German Holocaust memorial in February has gone on trial in Berlin today.
The 19-year-old shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ as he attacked the Spanish tourist in what prosecutors say was a bid to wage a ‘holy war against infidels’.
ADVERTISEMENTThe suspect, partially named as Wassim Al M, is accused of being a supporter of the Islamic State group who intended to ‘target a person of the Jewish faith’ through the attack, according to the court.
Prosecutors say he approached the 30-year-old victim from behind among the concrete steles of the memorial and ‘inflicted a 14-centimetre-long (more than five inch) cut to his throat with a knife”.The victim, who was visiting the memorial with two friends, was badly injured but managed to stagger out of the steles before collapsing in front of the memorial.
On Thursday, prosecutors told the court that Wassim Al M had ‘internalised IS ideology, rejected the Western way of life, and was convinced that a holy war against infidels must be waged worldwide’.
They say he shouted ‘Allahu akbar’, meaning God is the greatest, immediately after the attack.
The suspect had travelled from his home in Leipzig southwest of Berlin to carry out the attack, according to the court, motivated by his support for IS and ‘driven by the escalation of the Middle East conflict’.
