"He was known as an Islamist but not a jihadist," said the German port city's interior minister Andy Grote, noting "there are indications of radicalisation". But the minister stressed that while there could have been an Islamist motive for the attack, the suspect also suffered from "psychological instability". Heavily armed police who searched a Hamburg asylum seekers' shelter where the man lived did not find any weapons. "He was always helping other asylum seekers with their paperwork," the 31-year-old Syrian refugee told AFP.
