I'm calling this a terror attack, because that's exactly what looks like. (If it walks like a duck...) The German authorities never say that word, for fear of being called -ists and -phobes.
A massive search is underway for an unknown man who killed three people and wounded at least eight in a knife attack at a festival in Solingen, Germany.
Solingen is located roughly 18 miles from Düsseldorf and is home to about 160,000 people. On Friday, the city was marking its 650th anniversary with the "Festival of Diversity." It was supposed to run through Sunday, with several stages in central streets offering attractions such as live music, cabaret and acrobatics.
The attack took place amid the crowd in front of one stage. Shortly after 9:30 p.m., people alerted police to the presence of an attacker who had wounded several people with a knife.

Update: The attack is related to "Islamism." Islamic State claims responsibility for knife attack in Germany
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Saturday for a knife attack in the German city of Solingen that killed three people and wounded eight others.
Police have detained a teenager who may be connected with a knife attack, but the perpetrator was still at large on Saturday.
