Germany is set to expand border checks following a knife attack which left three people dead in the town of Solingen in August, the BBC reports.
The government has come under pressure to take a harder line on immigration since the stabbing, in which the suspect is a Syrian national who was facing deportation after a failed asylum bid.
The attack has been claimed by the Islamic State group.
The new controls – which will be introduced on 16 September and initially last six months – were announced days after the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) made big gains in local elections.
