Berlin police have detained a man who stabbed two Germans in random attacks in Charlottenburg, a quiet district in the Berlin metropolitan area. The attacker was a Syrian national who had recently arrived in Germany from Sweden.
[ABC News:]Berlin police said they detained a man Tuesday who attacked and injured two people in the city's Charlottenburg neighborhood, further jolting Germany days after a deadly Christmas market attack elsewhere in the country.
Police said the attacker was a Syrian citizen with residency in Sweden.
"Initial findings indicate that the suspect may have signs of mental illness and that there is not indication for a terrorist motivation," police spokeswoman Jane Berndt told The Associated Press, adding that the investigation is still ongoing.
While the Berlin police don't see any indication of a terrorist motivation, that claim is a little hard to swallow, given recent events in traditional German Christmas markets around that country - at least one of which was carried out by, you guessed it, a Syrian national.
I'm not sure it even makes a difference -- so maybe it wasn't just a terrorist. Maybe it was just a lunatic from Syria who had to flee because he stabbed random people in Syria, but Germany let him in under its suicidal "Wilkommen" policy.
That is no better.
