Germany says Amsterdam stabbing suspect is asylum-seeker

None

German authorities say that an Afghan man suspected in the stabbing of two American tourists at Amsterdam's main railway had applied for asylum in Germany and was not considered a security threat.

 

German Interior Ministry spokesman Harald Neymanns on Monday confirmed that the suspect, a 19-year-old man identified under Dutch privacy rules only as Jawed S., is registered as an asylum seeker in Germany.
