NRW Parliament Agrees on Inquiry into Solingen Terror Attack

A parliamentary committee will investigate the August attack that left three dead and eight injured, attributed to an ISIS-linked assailant.

The inquiry will formally begin in November, following a joint agreement by SPD, CDU, Greens, and FDP factions in the NRW parliament.
The attack occurred on August 23 at a city festival in Solingen, where a 26-year-old Syrian suspect allegedly killed three people and injured eight others with a knife.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, intensifying discussions around migration and asylum policies in Germany.
The suspect, who is in custody, reportedly entered Germany via Bulgaria, raising questions about asylum processing under the Dublin Regulation.
The AfD was not involved in the discussions for the formation of the inquiry committee, which aims to uncover the attack's background and prevent future incidents.
