(Worthy News) – Dutch prosecutors on Monday announced that the 19-year-old Afghan citizen accused of stabbing two American tourists may have done so because he believes Islam is insulted in the Netherlands.
The announcement came after officials said there was a “terrorist motive” behind the attack.
The suspect, identified only as Jawed S., allegedly stabbed the two Americans at Amsterdam’s Central Station just after noon on Friday. His reasoning for targeting the victims was not based on their nationality, prosecutors said. Rather, the suspect’s grievance was with the European country where the assault took place, they said in a written statement. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
