(ANSAmed) - Berlin, July 28 - Deadly attacks carried out by
asylum seekers in Germany will not lead to a change in Germany's
refugee policy, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday.
Germany has suffered several violent attacks over the space
of about a week, including an axe attack on a train in Wuerzburg
and a suicide bomb in Ansbach, both carried out by asylum
seekers.
Merkel told a news conference that the country "would
remain faithful to its principles and would provide refuge for
those who deserve it".
She added that migrants who had committed violence made a
mockery of "the country which helped them".
She said that Germany would tackle the problem by
increasing security checks and bolstering information exchange
with north African and Middle Eastern countries.
