Senate Terror attacks in Europe

I'm starting to think all this media attention that we give to terrorists just gives them more incentive to do this sort of thing.

 

I don't think that is how terrorism works, somehow.

 

BBC News is reporting that a man is being held in Turku Finland after he stabbed several people. Police shot him in the leg and arrested him.No word on if it's terrorism or a local nutter so far.

 

*sighs*

too early to suggest if it is terrorism.

 

We have to wait to see what skin color or religion he is first.

 

Terrorism is terrorism in Europe.

 

National governments differ from the EU standard. Believe it or, whether strange, some governments recognise terrorist groups that the EU does not.

I believe the UK's far right neo-nazi groups do not appear on the EU list, but are outlawed under the Terrorism Act in the UK.

 

BBC News

Finland attack has been declared terrorism by the police. Two people died as a result of stabbing and eight were injured. Man arrested is an 18 y.o. Moroccan. Police carried out raids overnight.

 

A Moroccan (??) that was denied asylum (obviously, thank goodness), but then why was he still here? Why are people like that even allowed to roam around here freely? Really makes you think. How does that actually happen? What timeline am I in?

Huutista. Finland becoming Sweden 2.0

Hans, get the luger.

 

Tree? I only remember the guy with mental problem in Gamla Stan and the attack on Drottninggattan, which is the third one?

 

There was apparently a stabbing attack in Germany as well.

 

Surgut, Northern Russia, earlier today


Russia attack: Eight injured in Siberian city of Surgut by 'man running along streets stabbing people'
Isil claims responsibility after Russian knifeman stabs eight before being shot dead by police
Several wounded in Russian knife attack, attacker shot dead

Some conflicting reports, here it says it was a "local resident": Russia knife attacker wounds seven in Surgut - BBC News

And here - that he was originally from Dagestan, and the son of a Muslim extremist known to authorities: Russian police shoot knife rampage attacker in Surgut

And also that the attack was bigfer and there are more victims than authorities acknowledge. That's Daily Mail though. Always gotta sensationalise...

But, yes, I do believe he was a Dagestani. Saw it in many Russian sources. Would not be unusual. Many Dagestanis travel to Surgut, to work in the oil industry. Dagestan has own oil, and skilled oil workers, but not enough jobs for them. So, plenty of them head up North.

Could an extremist sneak in among them? Yes, absolutely.

Or, he could just be a mental case, as the authorities say.

But ISIS will, naturally, claim any act that seems to fit their ideology...

I don't know. Articles talk of one suspect, killed by the security forces, but one of the bits in the video compilation above above clearly shows police taking away some other man, obviously alive and walking on his own feet...

Heavily armed cops have been on the streets, checking cars


Just six days or so ago, the FSB said they foiled another ISIS plot, in Moscow:

Russian security agency says it foiled IS attack plot - ABC News

Terrorism is everywhere, these days.

 

"These days"

 

What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

 

I prefer the 1970s, terrorism was nice enough to stay in Western Europe and the Middle East.

 

Are you ******' kidding me?

 

Very happy that they located the little boy who went missing in the Barcelona attack. He's been located in a hospital and reunited with his dad. I think his mum is still in hospital somewhere but the family will pull through.

 

Looks like this was a bull**** story. I don't normally regurgitate news stories but this was something positive for a change. Looks like it was false.

 

what - like the IRA ? . (I thought you lived in the UK)
