The boy is a Tunisian immigrant who was naturalized in Switzerland in 2011. "There is a strong link with Tunisia," where the teenager spent four years between 2017 and 2021, Fehr says, according to Switzerland’s Keystone-ATS news agency. An important factor in his radicalization was also the amount of time he spent on internet forums, says Fehr, who heads the Zurich cantonal administration.
