Teen girl who stabbed officer linked to Daesh

A 16-year-old girl who stabbed a policeman at a train station in Hanover, Germany, was acting under orders from Daesh, prosecutors said.

Safia S., a German-Moroccan dual citizen who is in prison awaiting trial, was charged with attempted murder and with being a supporter of the terror group, the prosecutors said. She travelled to Istanbul in January, where she met members of the group who planned to help her enter Syria. Her trip was aborted when her mother brought her back to Germany.
