A 19-year old Afghan citizen with a German residence permit today went on a random stabbing spree at Amsterdam's Central Station, badly injuring two people - who are currently outside life-threatening conditions. Police shot the perpetrator in the lower body, and have now also stated that they think there is a real possibility that this was a terror attack. A big part of the station was evacuated and trains did not run for a while.

Say it loud, say it clear...

Turns out that it was indeed a terror attack and that the perpetrator specifically travelled to the Netherlands to commit one because he thought "Islam is often insulted" here, explicitly naming Geert Wilders in this context.

Is this the first attack in the Netherlands since Theo Van Gogh was killed?

Hope the victims make a healthy recovery.

I'd say this qualifies as terrorism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_attack_on_the_Dutch_royal_family
