A flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) was found in the room of an Afghan refugee who was shot dead by German police after attacking train passengers with an axe and knife, officials say.
The 17-year-old injured at least four people, two critically, and was shot dead as he fled on Monday night near the southern city of Wuerzburg. Four of the injured were from Hong Kong.
The ISIL-linked Amaq news agency said on Tuesday the teenager was a "fighter" for the group and had "carried out the operation in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State".
