One dead, four injured in Hamburg supermarket knife attack

From the German edition of The Local

Police in Hamburg have confirmed the arrest of a man on suspicion of killing at least one person and injuring four others in a supermarket in the city on Friday.

Die Welt reports that the man entered the shop in the Barmbek district shortly after 3pm and attacked people at random with a knife, killing one and injuring four others. He then fled the scene but was arrested shortly afterwards.

German daily Bild published a picture of the attacker in the back of a police car with a white, blood-soaked bag over his head, and reported that he cried “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest) in the supermarket. The suspect has not yet been identified.

One man, captured in the video on the Local website, told German media that he saw the man holding a knife and heard him shout “Allahu Akbar”

  1. It is of significance that this murderous attack was carried out by a Muslim man on a *Friday*. At around 3 pm on a *Friday*. In other words: not long after Friday midday ‘prayers’. I wouldn’t be at al surprised if he had just been at Friday ‘prayers’, getting pumped full of murderous megalomania. I wonder where he was at midday? I wonder where the nearest mosque is? I would advise the German authorities to hit, fast and hard, *every* mosque within 1/ walking distance 2/ an hour’s travelling distance (public transport or private car).
