5 others injured in attack in Villach. Syrian asylum seeker, 23, under investigation for ‘murder and attempted murder’ charges, police said.
A stabbing that left a teenager dead and five other people injured in southern Austria was an “Islamist attack”, the interior minister said on Sunday, with a 23-year-old Syrian asylum seeker held.
