Amsterdam authorities are treating a stabbing incident as an act of terrorism after an Afghan immigrant residing in Germany attacked two American citizens over the weekend in the Dutch city.
According to the Associated Press, “Amsterdam police shot and wounded the suspect, a 19-year-old Afghan man who had a German residency permit. Local government officials said the victims did not appear to be targeted for any particular reason. Officials are identifying the alleged attacker as “Jawed S.,” who currently remains hospitalized.”
But, after researching the background of "Jawed S." officials determined that he had terroristic motives. German authorities searched the man's home and seized several data storing devices. Likewise, Fox News reports that, "Based on the suspect's first statements, he had a terrorist motive," the city administration said in a statement on Saturday. They did not elaborate on what the statements were or in what ways they might have shown intent.
U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands Pete Hoekstra issued a statement saying that embassy officials have been in touch with the victims and their families. The identity of the victims has not yet been released. “We wish them a speedy recovery and are working closely with the City of Amsterdam to provide assistance to them and their families,” Hoekstra said.
The stabbing occurred in Amsterdam's Central Station which is the city's busiest train station. The suspect is set to be arraigned in a Dutch court on Monday, but it is unclear what charges he will be charged with.
The EU needs better Ja-Wad control.
Americans should always be armed whether at home or abroad.
that way we can start culling the defective part of the genome that is causing so many problems. IMO.
“..............but it is unclear what charges he will be charged with.”
It won’t be Islam he will be charged with in spite of all the evidence throughout history.
For Europe, that sure is a LOT of detail. Usually they say it was an Asian, omit the name, or otherwise obscure it.
“Jawed S.,” who currently remains hospitalized” will be charged with attempting to leave the scene of an accident. Then he’ll be released.
Coulda been a Kindness Attack, not sure.
Best to stay away from Europe.
Shouldn’t have been in Amsterdamistan.
Liberalism draws flies.....
At least it looks like the Dutch police actually have guns unlike the Brits who have to wait for a half hour or so to round up some armed cop who will do nothing.
Following the instructions and example of his prophet.
Let’s not jump to conclusions now.(Sarc)
This is an amazing coincidence. What are the odds that yet another lone wolf terrorist would happen to be Muslim? I wonder what this one’s motive could be.

American tourists culturally enriched by a Muslims “Knife of Peace.”
Oh oh!
This media outlet really blew it.
You’re not supposed to use the “T” word.
“T” word, what “T” word?
We don’t have any “T” word!
“Amsterdam police shot and wounded the suspect.”
