In Munich, Germany, this past Thursday, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker was arrested after deliberately driving a car into a trade union demonstration. See "'Allahu akbar!' in Germany... just in time for the election", WWW 13/2/25, and "Munich Islamic terror attack UPDATE", WWW 14/2/25. A two-year-old girl and her mother died on Saturday from injuries suffered in the attack, which left 37 others injured.
If Ed. had been on the ball, instead of watching the Canada-USA hockey game, we'd have posted another story about Islamic terrorism last night, for it was just yesterday that a 14-year-old boy was killed and four other people injured in a knife attack in the southern Austrian city of Villach.
Pictures of the arrest show him smiling as a cop covers him with her weapon. For those who can't read German, he's saying (or at least thinking) "You can't arrest me! I'm a refugee!"
A spokesthingy for the local police tolld the meeja, "A man randomly attacked passers-by with a knife. One victim, a 14-year-old boy, died."
Two other men suffered serious injuries, while another two men suffered less serious wounds.
The incident happened in the centre of the city, the capital of the Carinthia province, at just before 1600 local time. A food delivery rider saw the attack and rammed his vehicle into the attacker, who was arrested right after the attack.
The arrested man is a Syrian asylum-seeker with a valid residence permit and without a criminal record, according to preliminary information Police said he may have had Islamist extremist motives for the attack. No shit, Schultz!
UPDATE ADDED at 0850 FMT. The good folks at Blazing Cat Fur have a later version of this story. The words "ISIS death cult" leap off the screen.
