Teen in school axe attack driven by ‘hatred for humanity’

A GERMAN teenager who wounded nine students and a teacher in a terrifying axe and arson attack on his school was motivated by “hatred for humanity” and had been planning the rampage since April, officials said yesterday.

The 18-year-old was awakened yesterday from a medically induced coma. Prosecutor Gudrun Lehnberger said the suspect was responsive but has not yet been questioned about last Thursday’s attack.

However, evidence recovered from his laptop included extensive information on his plans, said Juergen Krach, another prosecutor.
