Video emerges of alleged 15 year old stabber

A video has emerged of the 15-year-old boy accused of stabbing an orthodox Jew in Zurich.

The boy, who calls himself Ahmed al-Dabbah, said on the video that he wanted to attack a synagogue and kill as many Jews as possible.

The video was unearthed by a website which monitors extremism. 

The boy goes on to swear allegiance to Islamic State.

The Zurich press says the boy is a Swiss citizen with Tunisian roots.
