In the German city of Cologne, six Pakistanis and a Syrian have been violently attacked amid an anti-immigrant backlash over assaults on women on New Year’s Eve. German police say they have focused mainly on North African suspects after hundreds of women reported attacks, including theft and sexual assault. The assaults have stoked anti-refugee sentiment in Germany, which saw more than 1 million refugees enter the country last year. On Saturday, the far-right PEGIDA movement threw bottles and firecrackers at police.
