Thankfully only 4 injured and no deaths.

An axe-man who stormed a passenger train and hacked at terrified passengers while shouting "Allahu Akbar" has been identified as a 17-year-old Afghan who entered Germany as a lone refugee.

...His motive has not yet been revealed, with police refusing to comment on whether or not it was a terrorist attack.

Indeed, his motive may never be known to us.

It's called professionalism. As a policeman you don't speculate publicly before the investigation has even started.

I don't know man. If somebody is running around a bank screaming 'empty the vault! Fill these bags with 100 Euro Bank notes!' nobody will comment on the motive for what is going on? 'The police refuse to comment if this was a bank robbery'

The Bank robber is clearly an American here, otherwise he'd be demanding 500 Euro notes.

I just figured the majority of the notes would be of smaller denominations.

Along with the floral and other tributes on the sites where people died, the French are marking the spot where the murder died, with rubbish and some passers-by stop to spit.

BTW this is awesome. A very French response.

It's difficult to know what motivated him, but we can be certain at least about what did not - religion had no role in this attack. Of course.

He could just as likely been a Buddhist, or god forbid a Christian Democrat.

One last tidbit of info.
Lache painted on the ground means coward.

Thanks for that, I couldn't quit make out what it said.

There are other equally fitting photos of people spitting on the pile of rubbish.

Me too, was having a hell of a time trying to figure out what Nick Lachey had to do with any of this.  So was Nick.

Could easily have been a Return of the Jedi fan - "admiral" is hard for a native Afghan to pronounce correctly.

Just to clarify my own viewpoint: I do believe that this was a religiously motivated Islamist attack. But while we here can speculate and freely state our opinions without consequence, it's a lot more difficult for officials.
See the Munich stabbings in May for example. People back then here on the forum ridiculed the German police for not saying that they suspected an Islamist attack, even though the attacker had shouted "Allahu Akbar". As it later turned out, the attacker was a drug addict, mentally completely unstable and no muslim.

It also doesn't help that any random cockwomble can shout "Allahu Akbar" and Daesh immediately claims credit for it. My point being, we should be treating these people as random cockwombles instead of seeing a Vast Jihadist Conspiracy in everything.

[The Minsky Moment]

It's radical Islamic terrorism Solmyr.

There see now we've called it what it is.  Problem solved, sleep soundly now.
