There was bloodbath and 19 people are hospitalised after a 17 year old Aghan refugee, wielding an axe and shouting “Allahu Akbar” went on extremist rampage in a train near Wuerzburg, Germany. He was eventually shot dead by the police.
The attacker left three people critically injured.
An eyewitness said the train, which had been carrying around 25 people, looked ‘like a slaughterhouse’ after the attack, with blood covering the floor.
Joachim Herrmann, the interior minister of Bavaria state, confirmed that the perpetrator was a 17-year-old Afghan who had lived in nearby Ochsenfurt. He has not yet been named.
‘It is quite probable that this was an Islamist attack,’ said a ministry spokesman, adding that the attacker had shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ (God is greatest).
A police spokesman added: ‘Shortly after arriving at Wuerzburg, a man attacked passengers with an axe and a knife.
‘Three people have been seriously injured and several others lightly injured.’
If it is confirmed to be a terror attack, it would be the first on German soil. Germany, over the years, have done all to prevent terror attacks in the country.
