An Iranian asylum seeker was shot dead by police as he charged at an officer while wielding an axe, the culmination of a four-hour hostage-taking aboard a Swiss regional train service.
Nearly 100 members of the emergency services responded to a hostage-taking aboard a local train service stopped Essert-sous-Champvent train station after passengers managed to contact police to alert them of the situation. A “screaming” 32-year-old Iranian asylum seeker armed with an axe and a knife had tied up at least some of the 14 passengers and the driver of the Sainte-Croix to Yverdon train, leading to a four-hour hostage situation, reports Switzerland’s 20 Minutes.
Police were eventually able to speak to the man through Whatsapp installed on the cell phones of hostage passengers, but had to use an interpreter as the attacker only spoke Farsi and English. Eventually, the Iranian hostage taker stood away from his captives for a moment, giving police a window for action. Explosives were set off to dazle the man, and officers stormed the carriage while police snipers stood by.

okey-dokey
He just wanted to axe them something....
Neither terrorist nor jihadist, merely cultural enrichment.
When some Iranians say they’d like to see your better half,
they mean they want to slice you in half to determine which
is better.
Dude just wanted some attention.
Guess they are waiting for that moment of clarity.
No too good at divining outcomes.
There weren't a cupel of strong lads in a group of 14 who could beat the pig snot out of this lowlife?
how does one person with an axe get 14 people tied up?....not one man could have rushed him?...not one?....
The Swiss really need to get up to speed here. It’s not enough to just say the attack wasn’t terror-related.
One must also work in the phrase “lone wolf”. And for bonus points, mention how the attacker felt unwelcome in his new country. That way, it’s not his fault. It’s society’s fault.
Insanian asylum seeker
Not “Terror”? So the fuzz are saying that Iranians who terrorize people as just a bunch of natural wicked, mean and evil bastards. Thanks for sharing.
thought it was a babylon bee article
“Man wearing T-Shirt clearly declaring himself to be a terrorist- screams alah akbar, and yelling that he is indeed a terrorist and people need to submit to islam or else, is determined by Swedish police to not be uninvolved in terrorist activity
His plan to allow him to live in Switzerland was to take some of their citizens hostage and threaten to kill them. This somehow made sense to him.
Some cultures can not, will not, and should not be a part of western civilization.
This is what happens when you allow people to purchase and carry and own and think about these high-capacity knives and axes...do you realize how many stabs there are in the average paring knife? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Don’t get me started on boning knives, please, Louise. And the axes? I think you could be talking a million nasty whacks for Lizzy Borden’s mom and dad, bless their souls...
When will we make it end??
What? Abortions? No, they don’t count. Those are good murders. Sacred murders. Saving those poor fetuses from a world of hurt, we are.
“nevertheless officers are apparently confident enough to already declare the hostage-taking is “neither terrorist nor jihadist”.

Well, I guess the only other option is a ‘Trump’ thing.

OK
Wolfs have been declared ‘endangered’ in some regions.
That makes them ‘protected’.
Apply that. Dang.
