Stephanie Kirchner: Germany Influx and Ax Attack

stephanie kirchner: By Stephanie Kirchner, and Michael Birnbaum The Washington Post Tues., July 19, 2016 BERLIN—A 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who police say carried out an ax attack on a German commuter train had pledged loyalty to Daesh before slashing at least five people, in an incident that appeared likely to intensify opposition to Germany influx of migrants, according to Toronto Star. In a video issued by Daesh Amaq news agency, the teenager identifies himself as a soldier of the caliphate and threatens further attacks by the group in every village, city and airport, according to a translation by the SITE intelligence group, which tracks jihadist organizations. Authorities in Germany could not confirm whether the man in the video and the attacker were the same person. I lived among you and in your houses, the Afghan said. I will make you forget the horror of the France operation, a reference to an attack Thursday in Nice, France, that killed 85 people and injured more than 300. I will slaughter you in your houses and tear you apart. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
