Dutch police identify Amsterdam stabbing suspect as 19-year-old Afghan

What a surprise. I bet they are stumped as to his motive though. From Reuters.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch police said a man who stabbed and seriously injured two people at Amsterdam’s main train station on Friday was a 19-year-old Afghan with a German residence permit.

Police said the man seemed to have randomly picked his two victims in the busy hall of Amsterdam central station at around midday. He was shot and taken to a hospital by police where he was being interrogated, police and the Amsterdam city council said in a joint statement.

“The investigation into the incident is ongoing”, the authorities said. “All scenarios are taken into consideration, including a terrorist motive.” Maybe the authorities are getting the idea; the police did shoot him, after all.
