Most sources at this point suggest that Ali David Sonboly ‐ the Munich attacker who targeted children and killed nine yesterday ‐ is not connected to radical Islam, but the BBC has gone to extraordinary lengths to try to keep any reference to his heritage out of its coverage, opting to name him only as "David Sonboly".
Other news organisations including the Wall Street Journal, Independent, Daily Mail, and Sky News named the attacker as "Ali David Sonboly" or "David Ali Sonboly". CNN even referred to him simply as "Ali Sonboly".
