Read the thread title, PP.

[Peter Pedant]

Good news no dead

and then if you read the article there is one dead

I can read you know - can you ?

[anneasquith]

Several critically Injured though :-(

[-Talbot-]

15 injured 3 passengers critical.

I'm not surprised to hear that it is a young migrant, travelling on German trains isn't a pleasant experience of late.

[Mamyalynne]

Axeman reported to be just 17 years old.

I wonder if Merkel will visit them in hospital?

[vetuste_ennemi]

You're a smart guy, Peter Pedant: can you help the German police out here with his possible "motivation"? Could be a mental issue, of course. What do you reckon?

"no dead well actually one dead
..... this has to be AB"

I read this as "none dead would be best". If the axe-man could have been restrained before anyone got injured or killed then dealt with pending investigation, but most of AB is revenge/punishment hungry.

[Svejk]

Sure to be more 'nothing to do with Islam', VE. German authorities, and AB's defenders of the faith, will be scratching around for the alternative 'reason' all morning.

[douglas9401]

Completely satisfactory end to what must have been a terrifying situation for travellers.

//If the axe-man could have been restrained before anyone got injured //

errrr, how, AP?

[sandyRoe]

V_E, could 'cultural shock' have tipped him over the edge? A young man, though in reality scarcely more than a boy, traumatised by the horrors he'd witnessed in his homeland, finding himself adrift in an alien world.

[Baldric]

///the assailant had shouted "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest)///

Yep, sounds really confused Sandy!

[ummmm]

Sandy....you are joking, yeah?

[sandyRoe]

Ummm, I was. And I was also forgetting the horrors of recent days so this is hardly a fit subject for jokes.
Sorry.

[youngmafbog]

Good, another one less.

Thoughts go to those injured.

Come on then Merkel, defend your actions now, you wont be in power much longer so you had better get your apologies in fast.
