Islamic State claims responsibility for knife attack in Germany

SOLINGEN, Germany, Aug 24 (Reuters) - The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Saturday for a knife attack in the German city of Solingen that killed three people and wounded eight others.

Some 24 hours after the attack, police said they made a second arrest on Saturday evening as part of a police operation at a home for refugees in Solingen. Police said they could not provide more details on the individual or its connection to the incident.

Police earlier on Saturday detained a teenager who they said may be connected with the attack but said the perpetrator was still at large.

Describing the man who carried out the attack as a "soldier of the Islamic State", the militant group said in a statement on its Telegram account: "He carried out the attack in revenge for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere."

It did not immediately provide any evidence for its assertion and it was not clear how close any relationship between the attacker and Islamic State was.

Oh, they know the motive all right, they don’t want to say for fear of being called racist and bigots.

The authorities were chagrined because they had no evidence that this was anything more than a crazy lone wolf white supremacist.

Quick, Germany! Respond by admitting even more “refugees”. And be sure to give them free food and housing.

And no, I’m not being smug here. Because we are doing the exact same thing at our southern border.

Trump or bust. It’s just that simple.

Most of the media now burying the fact the attacks were at the ‘Festival Of Diversity’.

Hasn’t the trend for about three years been “Islamic terrorist group—(name here)—denies they did it.”?

Used to be they bragged.

So Britain and Europe, guess who’s coming to dinner?
With a suicide vest bomb. Or a sharp blade. Or an automatic weapon.

Enjoy the diversity.

But, it’s those damn white nationalists that are the problem in Germany.

You might end up being right. These times have an apocalyptic feel.
