Of course not. Goes against the narrative...

His yelling Allah Akbar while pulling the trigger could have been a big clue.

According to the meager news coverage of the story, including Fox, he yelled "God is great." Yes! They have all learned the new drill, how to cover up and white wash the islamic jihad. Do not call a spade a spade. Call it a toothpick. Minimize and dismiss it. Still doesn't change the reality.

Spiegel says that Rami Makanesi and the perp lived in the same house from 1999 to 2003 when the perp was 9 to 14 years old. That Makanesi radicalized the perp doesn't seem likely since the perp appeared to be radicalized in the past 3 months and Makanesi after 2003.

Another islamist, Haddid, lives in the perps area and may have had some dealings with him, but more likely online than in person.

Right now the keys to the kingdom are most likely on the perp's hard drive. There doesn't seem to be any real analog connections to accomplices, the digital realm will make the connections if there are any.

the meager news coverage of the story

The last synopsis translation I did from Spiegel this afternoon is at the link below.

Free Republic / Obama Admin. Refuses to Call Attack in Germany an Act of Terrorism, Compares It to Giffords Shooting

You can probably click on my posting history to see other translations about this story.

Germany has been hitting the islamic angle hard.

There just haven't been any obvious terrorist cell links, but the perp has only been interrogated for 3 hours. That was right after the attack. He's lawyered up now, so no new information has come from him since the day of the attack.

Thank you for the perspective from Germany.

We get DW news on one of our channels here, so I should check that out.
