Hamad Köz

Hamad Köz is a 31-year-old Swiss-Turkish dual citizen who has been involved in extremist circles for many years. Recently, he was in the news for a knife attack at the Winterthur train station where he injured three men, allegedly shouting 'Allahu akbar' during the assault. Köz had a history of mental health issues and had recently been released from psychiatric care, raising questions about the decision-making process that led to his release. His connections to radical Islamism and previous encounters with authorities have made him a significant figure in discussions about jihadist threats in Switzerland.
