Muslim sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for stabbing Frankfurt rabbi

A Frankfurt state court has sentenced a 23-year-old German Muslim to 3 1/2 years in prison for attacking a rabbi with a knife.

The court found Sajed Aziz guilty of serious bodily injury for the September attack on orthodox Jewish rabbi Zalman Gurevitch.

A German citizen born of Afghan parents, Aziz has denied all along that the attack had an anti-Semitic motive or that he had intended to kill the rabbi.
