SNIPPET: “Kosovan authorities identify suspect as Arif Uka
Uncle says he was a German-born devout Muslim who worked at the airport
Troops had just arrived in Germany from Britain”
SNIPPET: “Officials said the gunman, identified as Arid Uka, 21, shouted out ‘Islamic slogans’ before opening fire.”
SNIPPET: “The attacker, reportedly wielding a knife and a handgun, then boarded the bus and fired at the driver before being taken down by police, the official said.
The suspect’s uncle, 70-year-old Rexhep Uka, said Uka was born and raised in Germany and was a devout Muslim who worked at the airport.
He said Uka’s grandfather was a religious leader at a mosque in the village of Zhabar, near Mitrovica, Kosovo.
Murat Uka, who identified himself as the alleged shooter’s father, says the only thing he knew about his son was that he hadn’t turned up at work on Wednesday.”
