A memorial is being held in the German town of Mannheim for a police officer who was killed in a knife attack last week. The officer was stabbed when he intervened as a man started attacking people at a rally held by an anti-Islam group. The attacker stabbed a total of six people before he was shot by a police officer and detained. Authorities have identified the suspect as a 25-year-old man from Afghanistan who came to Germany 10 years ago and say they believe an Islamist motive was behind the knife attack. They have yet to interrogate the suspect.
