Two people injured in a stabbing incident at Amsterdam's central railway station on Friday are American tourists, the US ambassador has said.

"We are aware that both victims were US citizens and have been in touch with them and their families," Pete Hoekstra said in a statement on Saturday.

The suspected attacker was shot and wounded by police. He was later identified as an Afghan citizen.

The motive is unclear and officials say an investigation is under way.

Still trying to find that elusive motive, but the Amsterdam police are officially clueless.

It’s a shame there isn’t some tradition we could bring back that keeps invaders from entering another country and harming ordinary, decent people there. Oh, yes, there is such a tradition: “borders”. Too bad that would be racist, or something.

“A police spokesman quoted by Agence France-Presse said the arrested Afghan man did not know the victims and had not singled them out specifically as targets.”

Must have been the knife in his hand that singled them out then. gimme a break.

I’m getting real tired of hearing how unclear motives are.

It’s blatantly obvious to anyone with one working brain cell.

Time to shut down these “news” organizations. Let journalism start over.

“...and had not singled them out specifically as targets.”

Let me guess. They both had Canadian flags on their backpacks.

He probably had the best motive in this world; his God wanted him to do it. - Tom

“The motive is unclear.” No, the motive is right in front of your face. It is exceedingly clear. It is spelled jihad. The only thing unclear is thinking “the motive is unclear.” We are at war with an entire religion that wants to kill or subjugate anyone not like them. Islam...another five letter word for Satan.

“The motive is unclear and officials say an investigation is under way.”

A lunatic mooslim ape screaming allah akbar stabs two people. Motive unknown. Braindead Brit cops will search for a connection amongst Trump, Putin and American deplorables.

In other news, Britain looks for ways to hand over nuclear subs to Muslim invaders.
