If it waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck, generally… it’s a duck.

From the Independent. But most of the English language press is parroting the same line (and I am mixing my bird/water fowl metaphors this afternoon) 

A German man who killed one victim and injured three more in a stabbing attack at a railway station had no links to terror networks, authorities have said. Lothar Köhler, from the Bavarian criminal investigation office, said there was no indication that the 27-year-old man had connections with any Islamist or Salafist groups or “the scene” in general.

That the attacker shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ has been confirmed by witnesses and also by the perpetrator himself,” he told a press conference. Survivors of the attack at Grafing station, near Munich, also reported the man shouting: “You are infidels, you must die!”

Mr Köhler said police were investigating whether the suspect was a Muslim convert following comments made in an interview, during which he admitted the attack.

He has been named locally as Paul H and authorities confirmed he is a German citizen from Giessen, in the state of Hesse.

The man is a trained carpenter but has been unemployed for two years, according to investigators, who said he had recently undergone psychiatric treatment and was known to have taken an unspecified drug two days before the attack.

The Independent is well known for its left wing views. As bad as the Guardian, but without the Guardian’s financial support from job adverts for the traditional left-leaning professions which is why it is no longer printed as a traditional newspaper. There are only two comments so far. This is the best rated.

No link to terrorism….so just a normal muslim then.
