Austrian authorities seemingly linked the recent fatal stabbing attack in Villach on Saturday to terrorism, with Interior Minister Gerhard Karner condemning it as an "act of Islamist violence" in his remarks on Sunday.
A 23-year-old Syrian man stabbed six people, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring five others. Three of the wounded remained in intensive care on Sunday.
Police arrested the suspect shortly after the incident, and authorities claimed they were investigating his background for possible links to extremist groups.
