Finnish police release one more held over Aug 18 knife attack
2017-09-02
[Ynet] Finnish police on Friday released another of the men suspected of involvement in fatal stabbings in the city of Turku on Aug. 18, leaving just one suspect in jug.

 seven people after the attack and have now released six of them without charge.

Two women died and eight people were maimed in the mid-August knife attack, which police are investigating as Finland's first terrorism-related assault.

The main suspect, who is in pre-trial detention pending an investigation, has been named as Abderrahman Bouanane, a 22-year-old Moroccan asylum seeker.
This would be the gentleman who previously identified himself to the Finnish authorities as Abderrahman Mechkah, age 18. He arrived in Germany in 2015, where he was picked up in a number of cities for illegal entry and criminal assault, and gave a number of aliases before moving on to apply for asylum in Finland in 2016. He went on a knifing rampage when it became clear Finland would not grant him asylum, though he seems to think this is not terrorism. The police stopped him by shooting him in the fleshy part of his upper thigh, or thereabouts.
He told a court last week he was responsible for the attack but denied his motive was terrorism.
