Axe attack tops German news websites

The knife and axe attack on a German train came too late for the country's print press, but the websites of the main newspapers have been following the story closely.

On Tuesday, several newspapers focus on reports that a hand-painted flag of the militant group Islamic State (IS) was found at the room of the attacker - a 17-year-old Afghan who was shot by police.

Four people were injured - two critically - in the assault in a regional train near the southern city of Wuerzburg.
