A man who has admitted stabbing Rabbi Zalman Gurevitch (the Chabad Shliach of Frankfurt, Germany) on a German city street in September 2007 (reported HERE on YWN) – has been indicted for attempted manslaughter, Earth-Times reports. According to police, the 22-year-old suspect was a German national of Afghan ethnicity who already had convictions for violence.

They said he denied any intent to murder, any anti-Semitic motivation and claims that he uttered an anti-Jewish insult before knifing the rabbi, 42, in the abdomen. The victim underwent emergency surgery and recovered from his wounds.

Police had arrested him after he bragged about the incident in an Internet forum.
