Germany's ruling coalition on Thursday had been in agreement to toughen its security and asylum policies after a deadly knife attack.

Three people were killed and eight others injured in the attack, which took place during a festival marking the 650th anniversary of the town of Solingen. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, after which Berlin was criticized for its immigration policies.

The attack has deepened political dissent over asylum and expulsion rules ahead of next month's state elections in Germany, as the suspected perpetrator of the attack is a Syrian whose asylum claim was rejected.

Thursday's changes include stricter gun regulations. Among them are tougher regulations for carrying weapons, the general ban on long bladed knives and a strict ban on carrying knives at events such as, folk festivals, sporting events and trade fairs.

The new regulation also requires new federal agencies to conduct background checks on those who want to own guns so extremists are not allowed to carry guns.

Berlin will also toughen asylum and housing laws and procedures, including lowering the threshold for "strict deportation" for those who commit crime with weapons or dangerous means.

The criteria for the removal of the status of asylum seeker or refugee will be toughened. There will be more severe punishment for serious crimes, including for young defendants.

Asylum seekers will be barred from benefits in Germany if they enjoy such benefits in other European countries. Refugees who travel to their countries without any major reasons risk losing their protection status, the German government document says.

This rule does not apply to Ukrainian refugees, Radio Free Europe reports.
