Anyone travelling to France and Germany is subject to the alert from officials in the wake of two horrific attacks. The so-called Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for a knife attack in Solingen, Germany, that killed three people and wounded eight others at a crowded festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.

The group said on its news site that the attacker targeted Christians and is a “soldier of the Islamic State” who carried out the assaults on Friday night “to avenge Muslims in Palestine and everywhere”. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
