A man set a train carriage in Switzerland on fire using a flammable liquid and stabbed passengers on Saturday, injuring six people, including a six-year-old child, police said.

The man, a 27-year-old Swiss citizen, carried out the attack on a train travelling in Switzerland's far east, along its border with Liechtenstein, and was also injured, regional police in Saint Gallen said in a statement.

Police said the attack had taken place at around 2:20pm (1220 GMT) near the Salez station on a train running between Buchs and Sennwald and that some of the injuries were serious.

"According to the information we have for the time being, the 27-year-old Swiss man poured out a flammable liquid ... (which) caught fire," police said, adding that the man "was also armed with at least one knife".

Seven people including the suspected attacker were admitted to various hospitals with burn and stab wounds, the statement said.

A Swiss “citizen”? Why is there no name or photo for this Swiss citizen?

And the media:

Lone wolf.

Mental case.

Nothing to do with Islam.

A “Swiss citizen?” Doesn’t sound like the sort who was on his way to the Alps for a yodelling contest. Shouts of alahu akbar wouldn’t resonate to well in the mountains.

Instead of shouting Ricola, he was shouting Allahu Akbar.

“The man, a 27-year-old Swiss citizen...”

Like they think people aren’t going to pick up on that.

If his name was Muller or Favre it would already be released. It will be some version of Ali or Mohammed so the powers that be need a bit of time to coordinate their “lone wolf”, “mentally ill”, “bullied by islamophic Swiss natives”, narrative. Remember these are the truth denying people who downplayed the threat of Hitler and let him roll over Europe. Should the caliphate ever take full control in Euope many of these weaklings will be first in line volunteering to run a Vichy government and staff the extermination camps. Sadly the same quisling attitudes have taken complete control of the Democratic Party and the American media. If Hitler were around today Obama and Clinton would be seeking “dialogue”, not victory.

“The attacker identified as “Muhamed bin Ali Mohamed al Allepo” did not give a motive.

Swiss police do not exclude the possibility of a crime of passion as the motive for a 27-year-old Swiss man’s attack on a Swiss train on Saturday, a police spokesman told welt.de.
“A terrorism background still seems very, very far-fetched,” the spokesman said.
