Khalaf A., a Syrian national, was arrested in Berlin on Wednesday for allegedly aiding in a stabbing attack at the Holocaust Memorial on February 21, 2025. Federal prosecutors suspect him of being an accessory to attempted murder and bodily harm, as he reportedly met with the attacker, Wassim Al M., to plan the assault. Wassim Al M. had previously been sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the attack, which left a 30-year-old Spanish tourist from Bilbao with life-threatening injuries. The attack was characterized by authorities as motivated by radical Islamist and antisemitic beliefs. Following the incident, the victim underwent surgery for serious neck wounds and was placed in an induced coma but ultimately survived. Khalaf A. was presented before the Federal Court of Justice, where a judge will review the arrest warrant and decide on pre-trial detention measures. Roland Weber, the Federal Commissioner for Victims, condemned the attack as a deeply inhumane act.
