| - A man suspected to hold far-right views has killed nine people in a shisha bar and a cafe in Germany, where there has been an upsurge in racially motivated and anti-semitic attacks in recent years. The attack late on Wednesday was the deadliest of its kind in Germany since 1980 when a neo-Nazi planted a bomb in a bin at the Munich Oktoberfest, killing 12 people. - On October 9, 2019 two people are shot dead and two seriously injured when a gunman tries to storm a synagogue in the eastern city of Halle as Jews mark the holy day of Yom Kippur. Unable to enter, Stephan Balliet shoots dead a female passer-by and a man in a kebab restaurant. Balliet had previously outlined anti-semitic views in an internet post. - On June 2, 2019 a local pro-migrant politician from the central city of Kassel, Walter Luebcke, is shot in the head at his home. The suspected assassin, Stephan Ernst, is linked to a neo-Nazi movement. - On September 26, 2016 far-right sympathiser Nino Koehler sets off two homemade bombs outside a mosque and a convention centre in the eastern city of Dresden, but no one is hurt. He is sentenced in August 2018 to nearly 10 years in jail. - On July 22, 2016 an 18-year-old German-Iranian with far-right links shoots dead nine people at a Munich shopping mall before turning the gun on himself. Police say David Ali Sonboly was "obsessed" with mass murderers like Norwegian right-wing fanatic Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011. In 2018, xenophobic and anti-semitic criminal acts in Germany increased by nearly a fifth, according to the interior ministry. That year it recorded 7,701 xenophobic and 1,799 anti-semitic criminal acts, nearly 90 percent of which were carried out by the far right. In Dresden, eight neo-Nazis suspected of planning attacks on foreigners and politicians have been on trial since September 2019. They are among hooligans, neo-Nazis and skinheads from Chemnitz in the eastern state of Saxony, the scene of various anti-migrant incidents in August 2018. The number of attacks committed by the far right in Saxony increased by 38 percent in 2018. Last week, 12 members of a far-right cell were arrested as part of an anti-terrorist probe and suspected of having planned large-scale attacks on mosques. Between 2000 and 2007, nine people of immigrant origin were murdered in Germany by a far-right militant cell called the National Socialist Underground (NSU). The cell's only survivor, Beate Zschaepe, was sentenced to life in jail in July 2018. The victims included eight men with Turkish roots and a Greek migrant. The investigation into the affair, which focused on score-settling between gangs, has been marked by a series of scandals including suggestions that the secret services ignored leads pointing to the neo-Nazi scene. bur-jmy/br/mfp/jxb
