German court jails Syrian man for life for deadly knife attack

A Syrian man was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday for killing three people in an Islamist-motivated knife attack at a summer festival in the German city of Solingen last year.

The court in Duesseldorf said Issa al-Hasan, who was 27 at the start of his trial in May, was a member of the Islamic State group and had acted out of "treacherous and base motives.”
