Russell Square knife attack: Everything we know so far
aol.co.uk ^

Posted on 08/04/2016 3:19:04 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Here is what we know so far:

A man targeted six people with a knife in Russell Square, central London, at around 10.30pm on Wednesday night.

A woman, believed to have been in her 60s, was fatally stabbed and pronounced dead at the scene.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Two women and three men suffered "various injuries" in the attack, with two remaining in hospital and the other three discharged.

*snip*

Counter-terrorism officers are supporting the investigation into the incident, while Scotland Yard said early indications suggest mental health "was a factor". In an earlier statement police had said that terrorism was "one line of inquiry being explored".

The attack raises fears of IS targeting people with mental health problems to inspire them to carry out such incidents.

*snip*

The official threat level from international terrorism currently stands at severe - indicating that an attack is highly likely.

Eyewitness Zuhair Awartani saw the attacker arrested and told the BBC: "He was like African... a dark-skinned man... late 20s probably."

The Sun reports witnesses saying a “chubby white male” did the arrack, then way later in the article The Sun reports witnesses saying dark skin of African decent - like all other reports are now saying

Imagine that, media reporting initially a chubby white guy did it but the police were having none of the PC nonsense.

At least the police are honest.

Or could be the guy on the bike had nothing to do with it and raced to get the heck out of there.

Saw a “witness” report a bike running away. Didn’t see anyone saying the bike guy was hanging with the muslime terrorist.

London Metropolitan Police: “No evidence of radicalisation or that the man was motivated by terrorism.”
How can they know that already? Have they had time already to search his home and comb through all his contacts and phones and internet use (both at home and the local cafes, prayer centres, mosques etc) and studied his travels and life-long reading habits? No, of course not.
No evidence except for the trail of bodies and blood and that he’s a Moslim.

That has been the case for a long, long time. Lots of suicide bombers thus.

Read up on consanguinity in the Middle East, over many generations. They have plenty to choose from.

And odumbo just pardoned how many felons? He certainly picked the right type to carry out another of his plans.

Here is from Agence Press via Israelnationalnes.com:

Police: Terror not a motive in London stabbings British detectives questioning a 19-year-old Norwegian of Somali origin over a stabbing spree in London said, Thursday, they have found no evidence of radicalisation or terror motives, according to Agence France Presse.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley confirmed the one woman who died in the attack late Wednesday was a US national, while among the two women and three men who were wounded were US, British, Australian and Israeli nationals.

Can you f-ing believe it?

...Interesting that ISIS is targeting men with mental health issues to carry terrorist attacks...

Mental illness is required to be an ISIS supporter. It’s not optional.

Their comments are aimed at tamping down hysterical responses from the citizenry.

If they didn't believe it was terrorism, they wouldn't be flooding the streets with counter-terrorism police.
