(Sascha Ditscher/dpa via AP) A 32-year-old woman was detained following a knife attack on a bus en route to a festival in Siegen, Germany, injuring six individuals. Authorities reported no political or religious motivation behind the incident. The attack occurred Friday evening, with three victims remaining in life-threatening condition, while three others were discharged after treatment by Saturday. The bus was heading to a local festival with over 40 passengers when the stabbing took place at approximately 7:40pm. Victims range from ages 16 to 30, all of whom are local residents. Despite the attack, local authorities confirmed that the festival would continue as planned. This attack follows a similar incident in Solingen just a week prior that has been linked to a suspected Syrian extremist and left three dead. That attack led officials to consider stricter knife laws and streamlined deportation processes. Police noted that the woman arrested in Siegen is a German citizen with no immigrant background.
