*UPDATES WITH BAVARIA INTERIOR MINISTER'S REMARKS
BERLIN (AA) – Police have found a hand-drawn flag of the terror group Daesh in the room of an Afghan migrant, who attacked passengers on a train with an axe in southern Germany Monday night, seriously injuring three people.
Bavaria’s interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, told public television station ZDF on Tuesday that the motive of the 17-year-old migrant was not yet clear, and it was too early to say whether it was a terrorism-related crime.
“During searches at the room where the suspect was staying recently, a hand-drawn flag of IS [Daesh] has been found,” Herrmann said.
“At this moment, I do not want to make speculation. I would rather say that we would like to carefully investigate everything,” he added.
The suspect was fatally shot by police on Monday night while trying to flee in Heidingsfeld, a small town near the southern German city of Wurzburg.
Herrmann added that among the three seriously injured passengers, were Chinese tourists.
He said two of the passengers had life-threatening injuries.
