Armed with an axe and a knife, a 17-year-old Afghan refugee on Monday night attacked passengers on a train in Germany, injuring at least five people.
The Islamic State has now claimed responsibility for the attack and said in a statement that the refugee was a member of the terror group who was responding to their call to go after countries that are part of the anti-ISIS coalition.
"Even during the first emergency call, a witness said that the attacker was shouting 'Allahu akbar' on the train," Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria's interior minister, told ZDF Television. "Also, during the search of his room, a hand-painted IS flag was found." […]
The attacker, who was not identified by the authorities, came to Germany two years ago as an unaccompanied minor, and applied for asylum in March of last year. He lived in a home for young refugees until two weeks ago when he was placed with a foster family in the Wuerzburg area. Investigators were talking to the foster family, witnesses and the attacker's friends.
The attacker injured at least four people on the train near Wuerzburg-Heidingsfeld on Monday night, and also a woman outside the train as he fled.
Witnesses said the interior of the train was covered with blood and looked "like a slaughterhouse," the German news agency dpa reported. About 30 passengers were on the train at the time; more than a dozen were treated for shock.
The attacker was shot and killed by a police special unit.
The guy may well have been older and lied about his age to game the system. In any case, this kind of thing shows yet again the impossibililty of “vetting” refugees as Obama-Kerry-Hillary claim to do. There is no database that shows what is inside heads and hearts.
Stand up. The dripping sarcasm went right over your head.
BTW Wuerzburg is about 40 Kilometers or 24.85 miles from the town I was born in 1941 and raised. Wuerzburg is in Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) and my hometown in Central Frankonia (Mittelfranken)
Merkel will not survive the next election
Merkel is DONE. She just hasn’t been purged from her position of so called leadership as of yet.
Sarcasm my foot. You probably believe that.
Angela Merkel should be charged as co-conspirator for every crime these faux refugees carry out. It's only a matter of time before the people of Germany gather in the streets in HUGE numbers, overwhelming the police and taking matters into their own hands.
I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re responding to the wrong person. I fail to see what you find so offensive in my stating ISIS and Merkel are best buds.
My mother is from Mittelfranken. I was raised on “I am not Bavarian, I am Franconian!”
I have relatives in Würzburg. Been a number of times.
Notice the red and white Frankonian flag near the door.
I didn’t say I found it offensive. I said I find it ridiculous. If I had said it was offensive I would have said “How dare you”
Allow more in Merkel. The idiot in our WH thinks this is a great idea too.
It seems most of the leaders are for selling us out.
"Head cloth blanket just fine thing"
Merkel is a sleeper cell from the remnants of the East Germany communist regime. She’s doing everything she can to destroy the country she is duty bound to protect, following Obama’s lead.
Notice nothing about this anywhere else today. I found it on a twit feed.
I guess the MSM can’t keep running headlines “attacker on train injures 17” when it is clear it was planned by ISIS. They must cringe having to type those words “Afghan refugee”.
