Immigrant Shouts "Allahu Akbar" As He Goes Into Stabbing Rampage in Hamburg Supermarket; No Known Motive, Say German Police

Sometimes I make up snark for headlines.

In this case, though, the headline's real; police say there is no known motive.

He just shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he went on a stabbing rampage, a tactic common to jihadis. Palestinians are still executing their own "Stabbing Intifada."

A knife-wielding man reportedly screamed "Allahu Akbar" during a wild attack inside a Hamburg supermarket that killed at least one person and left four others bloodied and wounded on Friday.

German police arrested the suspected attacker in the Barmbek district after witnesses followed the man and alerted authorities. The suspect was overwhelmed by passers-by and slightly injured in the process, police said.

The assailant entered the supermarket and stabbed one person, who died at the scene, before fleeing the scene. While on the run, the suspect stabbed and injured four other people.

Remember when I said this "no known motive" guy just happened to execute an attack style invented by Palestinians? Well, he's a known Palestinian Islamist.
