An American woman was killed and five other people injured in a stabbing attack in London’s Russell Square by a Norwegian man of Somali origin who was arrested after the incident, authorities said.

"So far we have found no evidence of radicalization or anything that would suggest the man in our custody was motivated by terrorism," Rowley said.

He said the woman who died was a 60-year-old American, and the five injured people are British, American, Israeli and Australian. None had life-threatening injuries. Two remain in a hospital, while three others have been discharged.

Relax, this is the new normal. It’s the price we have to pay to respect our Islamic brothers and the religion of peace. Besides, Christians do the same thing. Oh and be sure to cast your vote for Hillary this November!

I almost spit my coffee all over my car when I heard Bloomberg news call him a Norwegian man of Somali origins. It's the theater of the absurd.

Uh, how many of the friends of Christians are currently residing in the former residence of the current (p)resident in chirac? I hear he loves ‘em and since the house is apparently not in use by the ‘first’ family (or ever will again) he might as well let them use it.

How can one be “motivated (to kill) by terrorism?” That is the method. That’s like saying he killed because he was motivated by murder.

Not to difficult to find victims from different countries in this area.

Russell Park is very close to the British Museum (wonderful place) and the surrounding area is packed with hotels, B&Bs, various art institutes, quaint shops, and restaurants. Packed with overseas tourists - especially this time of year.

The murderer probably picked it precisely because it was an area of London known to have a lot of tourists. Like shooting...er, stabbing fish in a barrel, metaphorically speaking.

“Norwegian man of Somali origin”..........”no evidence of radicalization”....

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

I’m surprised they didn’t just call him a Norwegian and leave it to us to find out about his Somali origins.

News reports say his family has been in the UK since he was five. Might have been born in Norway and have never seen the Horn of Africa. So much for gratitude.

“Norwegian man of Somali origin...” Huh? Norway took him in (open borders?), then he goes on to London to carryout his attack? Huh???

I'll go with the lyric from "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" by Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues:

Somehow, this moozlum invader/murderer was upset about glo-bull warming.

If he wasn’t upset about that, it would have been something else.

Or at least reminding us that this has nothing whatsoever to do with moose limbs. Random lone wolf activity. Oh, and calling for universal background checks for knives.

Boy oh boy.

So what is the latest?

Last I heard the Brits are apologizing for him and insisting he’s just mentally unstable.

Of course he’s unstable. Islam demands it.
