Amsterdam Attack

From the BBC:

"Amsterdam stabbing: Afghan suspect 'had terrorist motive'"

An Afghan man accused of injuring two people in a stabbing at Amsterdam's central railway station on Friday had a terrorist motive, officials say. The man, who has been named in Dutch media as Jawed S, was shot and wounded by police during the incident. Earlier the US ambassador said the two victims were American tourists. "We are aware that both victims were US citizens and have been in touch with them and their families," Pete Hoekstra said in a statement on Saturday. The authorities said: "Following an initial statement it has emerged the man had a terrorist motive." German police have conducted a search of the suspect's home in Germany. A police spokesman quoted by Agence France-Presse said the arrested Afghan man did not know the victims and had not singled them out specifically as targets. The attacker and victims were all taken to hospital for treatment. Some train services in and out of the station were suspended during the incident and two platforms closed. The Central Station is used by an estimated 250,000 travellers every day.

^ It seems that Europe - especially the EU - is having an upsurge in Islamic terrorist attacks. Of course it is made easier in the EU with their very lax asylum system that basically allows anyone in and one they are inside the EU they can travel anywhere they want in the 28 member states. (example: the terrorist attacker in Amsterdam lived in Germany.) Maybe the EU should start taking these attacks more seriously and do a lot more to keep the terrorists from entering the EU in the first place as well as going after the terrorists that are already inside the EU. The point should be to stop the terrorist attacks before they happen and not hold hands and sing "Kumbaya." ^
