Den här tråden har inte varit uppdaterad på ett tag så jag lägger till lite nyare information.
Independent skrev en artikel om incidenten och av 58 gripna personer, så var endast tre personer från Irak och Syrien. Det här skulle då vara en direkt motattack på personer som angriper Tysklands "öppna gränser" politik som anklagar den tyska regeringen för att vara skyldiga till massövergreppen genom att föra en ansvarslös migrationspolitik.
Tre av 58 gärningsmännen ska tydligen indikera på att endast en minoritet är flyktingar.

Cologne: Three out of 58 men arrested over mass sex attack on New Year's Eve were refugees from Syria or Iraq
Three of the 58 suspects arrested in connection with the mass sex attack on women in Cologne on New Year’s Eve were refugees from Iraq or Syria.
Refugees have been widely targetted following more than 1,000 reports of theft, sex assault and rape of women at Cologne’s central train station - leading to a hardening of attitudes towards Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open door policy.
On Sunday, it emerged that of those arrested only two had recently arrived from Syria and one from Iraq.
Det här ledde till att en av åklagarna i fallet surnade till och menar att en stor majoritet är i själva verket flyktingar och asylsökande.

On Monday, Mr Bremer dismissed how his remarks had been reported, saying that the overwhelming majority of those arrested "fall into the general category of refugees".
He said some had entered Germany saying they wanted to apply for asylum while others have formally filed an application.

Reports of three refugees in Cologne attacks 'wrong'
Numbers circulating in English-language media about the number of refugees involved in crimes in Cologne on New Year's Eve are wrong, Cologne prosecutors say.
Speaking to The Local, Ulrich Bremer, spokesman for the Cologne prosecution service, said that he could not provide any information on how many of the 73 people currently being investigated in relation to the crimes were asylum seekers.
The Independent reported earlier on Monday that only three of the people under investigation were asylum seekers from Iraq or Syria.
As their source, they cite an article in Die Welt which at no point gives figures on the asylum status of individual suspects.
Associated Press, meanwhile, reported Bremer telling them that the majority of suspects were asylum seekers.
But Bremer made clear to The Local that he could not give figures on how many were refugees and how many were illegal immigrants.
He did give a breakdown of the figures on the men’s citizenship, showing that the vast majority come from two countries - Morocco and Algeria.
“
The vast majority of suspects do not have permission to stay in Germany, but this is for different reasons, encompassing people whose asylum applications haven’t been accepted and illegal immigrants,” Bremer said.
Varför försöker The Independent förminska händelsen med sin artikel som visar på att endast tre av 58 av gärningsmännen är asylsökare? Åklagaren själv menar att en majoritet är i själva verket flyktingar och asylsökare.
Det väsentliga är inte vilket land dessa gärningsmän kommer ifrån, det framkommer med all tydlighet att majoriteten av gärningsmännen är flyktingar och asylsökande.
Troll?
