Budapest, February 21 (MTI) – Police in southern Hungary have detained an Iraqi man who is suspected of having raped a 13-year-old girl in Hamburg last November, according to the national police headquarters.

A European and international arrest warrant was issued for the man who had been living under an alias. Hungarian police identified him on the basis of photographs and finger prints.
