Daesh terrorist group has claimed responsibility for an axe attack on a German train, Arab media reported Tuesday, citing the outlawed terrorist organization’s news agency.

Earlier in the day German police uncovered further evidence suggesting Daesh (also known as Islamic State/ISIL/ISIS/IS) links of an Afghan refugee who attacked passengers on a train in Germany, N24 TV channel reported.

Searches uncovered a hand-drawn Daesh flag in the 17-year-old refugee’s room, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said earlier in the day.

"It is now known that not only a hand-drawn flag of the Islamic State group was found in the suspect’s room, but also documents indicating links to the Daesh," an N24 broadcaster’s correspondent reported live on air, adding that authorities seized the documents for inspection and analysis.

The teen was shot dead by police after injuring three train passengers in an axe attack early Tuesday.
