Afghan teen shot dead by German police after slashing spree on train

A 17-year-old Afghan refugee was shot dead by police after injuring four passengers in a slashing attack aboard a train late Monday near Wuerzburg in the southern German state of Bavaria, authorities said.

Three of the victims were critically wounded.

An initial investigation found that the attacker, who wielded a knife and an axe, came to Germany as an unaccompanied minor, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told German broadcasters.

Asked if the violence was fueled by Islamist motivations, Herrmann said the suspect had shouted something in connection with the attack, but that the investigation was still underway.

The commuter train was travelling from Treuchtlingen to Wuerzburg at the time of the attack.

In addition to the wounded, 14 people aboard the train were receiving care for shock.

After the attack, the boy tried to flee. A police special operations unit, which happened to be nearby at the time of the incident, pursued the suspect, who was shot dead when he tried to attack the officers.

Based on witness accounts, police believe the boy acted alone, Herrmann said.

The boy, which arrived in Germany without his parents, had lived in a refugee home in Ochsenfurt in the Wuerzburg area, and most recently was with a foster family.

The literal translation of Allahu Akhbar is

This has nothing to do with Islam.

...or so I'm told...

Totally worth it for the diversity, which my TV told me is the best thing ever.

‘Teen hacks people on Train..’

Coming to a neighborhood near you:

Breitbart (h/t Emma) Last year, Obama directed his administration to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees over the course of this fiscal year…(but has since raised it to 100,000). However, Clinton said that Obama’s plan did not go nearly far enough— Clinton called for a 500% increase to Obama’s refugee resettlement operation.

Most dumbed down Americans are unaware of the fact that muslims want to kill us and take over America. (The koran commands muslims conquer the world for islam)

They haven’t a clue as to what islam is really all about.

If Hillary is elected, we are finished.

I think you’re right. At some point, the German people are going to snap. People can say the Germans are broken and pacified, but I don’t buy it. Deep down, that German instinct for battle is still there. They have several thousand years of bloody history bubbling below the surface. I think Germanys control of the EU is deflected example of that drive to conquer.
