Terrorist attack in Utrecht (NL)

[Tender Branson]

There‘s a press conference soon and we‘ll know more then.

The mayor says 3 dead and 5 injured (of which 3 critically injured).

The Turk perpetrator has not been arrested so far and is still on the run.

Looks like a public honor killing to me from what I have read, based on Turkish media.

The perpetrator explicitly looked to kill a woman in the train and everyone helping her as she was down on the floor.

Probably his sister or ex-GF/wife, who abandoned him or had something with a non-Muslim.

These extremist people often go crazy if „their“ women become independent or make independent choices on their own ...

Geez. Absolutely horrifying.

That would probably mean it's not actually in response to Christchurch, though, which I guess would be a relief.

It could be both.

First, the honor killing against the woman for following western culture and not being devout enough any longer.

Then, the so-called overkill (a forensic term) by targeting the people who tried to help the woman, which would be terrorism.
