Quote from story:
The case provoked outrage in Germany after it was caught on security cameras. After police released photos of the suspected attackers, six of them later turned themselves over to the police , another was arrested. All seven have been in police custody since December 27. Their motives for the attack are still unknown.
Because all seven alleged perpetrators came to Germany as refugees – six from Syria, one from Libya – the attack sparked a debate over the integration of so-called “unaccompanied minors” seeking refugee status in Germany and stirred anti-migrant sentiments.
