| [MSN-DPA] A man has attacked several people at a private European Championship party in a small town in northern Germany and seriously injured three of them. The incident happened in Wolmirstedt, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. According to the public prosecutor's office in nearby Magdeburg, he is said to have first stabbed another man at another location. The attacker was shot dead by officers on Friday evening. The Volksstimme and Bild newspapers reported that the man had used a knife to attack his victims. The public prosecutor's office told dpa that the first person to be attacked was a young man, who was stabbed on a residential street. The assailant then passed by a private football party being held in a family home and attacked several more people there. The group was watching the opening match of the European Championships between Germany and Scotland. Police officers were quickly on the scene and they shot the attacker. According to the public prosecutor's office, the man later died in hospital from his wounds. Law enforcement has yet to comment on a possible motive.
The 27-year-old Afghan citizen first attacked a 23-year-old compatriot with a “knife-like object” in Wolmirstedt, a small town about 130 kilometers (80 miles) west of Berlin, on Friday evening, police said. The victim later died of his wounds. The man later attacked a group of people watching the soccer game between Germany and Scotland in the yard of private house, injuring three German men, two of them seriously, police said. Police said the assailant, still armed with the same object, also attacked officers called to the scene. Two of the officers shot and wounded the man, who died soon after in a hospital.

| #6 No, no. The obvious answer to crimes like this is to ban knives. If banning guns stops people from shooting others, banning knives will stop them from stabbing others. /sarcasm |

| #4 "not yet noticed him in connection with terrorist or radical activities" Again, by Western standards the Afghan moral and legal consensus is "radical" and hostile because under that consensus the exercise of basic human and civil rights is a death penalty offense. That is true for the current Taliban regime as well as for "liberated" Afghanistan before 2021. |

| #3 Der Spiegel, translated: After the brutal knife attacks on Friday evening in the city of Wolmirstedt in Saxony-Anhalt, the police have published the first findings on the crime. According to this, the perpetrator is a 27-year-old Afghan. According to SPIEGEL information, the German security authorities had not yet noticed him in connection with terrorist or radical activities. "Currently, there is no evidence of a religiously motivated act or a different motivation," says the police. The man first struck in an apartment building: There he attacked a 23-year-old Afghan. The victim succumbed to his injuries in the evening. Further details on the background of the attack on the young man are not yet known. According to the police, the 27-year-old is said to have initially moved "aimlessly" through Wolmirstedt. Shortly after 9 p.m. he struck again. In a single-family house settlement, several people had gathered for a private party to see the opening game of the European Championship, the "Mageburger Volksstimme" reports of a celebration in the garden. The man attacked several guests there and seriously injured a 50-year-old German and a 75-year-old German. Another man, 56 years old, was slightly injured. The perpetrator fled. According to "Magdeburger Volksstimme", the attacker is said to have previously threatened people with a knife in the opposite allotment garden. Eyewitnesses had informed the police. The officials are reportedly said to have arrived in the single-family house settlement around 9.30 p.m. According to the police, the perpetrator attacked the emergency services with a "knife-like object", two officers shot at him. A short time later, he died in the hospital. Saxony-Anhalt's Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang pointed out that the police presence in the country was increased after the incident. In addition, "extensive and concentrated" investigations were underway; they are led by the responsible public prosecutor's office in Magdeburg and the Stendal Police Inspectorate. Wolmirstedt is a small town with around 12,000 inhabitants north of Magdeburg. Debate on Islamists after attack in Mannheim Since a knife attack in Mannheim two weeks ago, politics and society have been debating how to deal with Islamists . The 25-year-old Afghan had injured six people on the Mannheim market square. He attacked five participants in a rally of the Islam-critical movement Pax Europa. He rammed the blade into the neck and head of a rushed policeman, the 29-year-old man died in the hospital. At a funeral service in Mannheim on Friday, thousands of people said goodbye to the official, including Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser. There are many indications that the perpetrator of Mannheim had an Islamist motive. This is also indicated by traces that he seems to have left on the Internet. His name appears on a YouTube channel that used the Taliban flag as a profile picture and published Islamist videos. Whether he operated the channel himself is unclear. From his environment it is said that the assassin of Mannheim may also have been mentally ill. According to SPIEGEL information, however, he is said to have prepared the attack and deleted communication from his mobile phone, for example. |

| #1 As for the motive: Death in Jihad is a get out hell free card in Islam. No matter previous sins, the murder of a fellow Muslim being a very grave sin, a Muslims who is killed in Jihad will ascend directly to paradise. |
