‘HEINOUS ATTACK' Three tourists stabbed in ‘Isis-inspired' terror attack on honeymoon islands of Maldives
[Sun UK - ht Weasel Zippers] ISIS-inspired terrorists launched an attack against foreign workers and tourists in the Maldives.

Three men were stabbed at around 7pm, on Tuesday night in Hulhumale, a paradise island four miles north of capital city Male as a chilling video emerged from local terrorists.

The victims are two Chinese nationals and an Australian, 44, who was filmed with blood soaking his shirt as he was rushed to hospital on a bike.

A Maldivian radical group affiliated with ISIS has taken responsibility for the attack in an unverified video posted online on Wednesday.

One of the three masked men seen in the video, which is still being investigated, accused the Maldivian government of being run by infidels and warned more such attacks were coming.

He said: "As for what will follow (of attacks), you fail to perceive where and when it will take place."

Maldives police arrested three men over the stabbing on Thursday and are probing their suspected links with ISIS, officials said.

Police also confirmed that all three victims are in a stable condition in hospital in the wake of the "heinous attacks" and sought to reassure the public and tourists that the paradise islands are safe.

#4 For a country that relies on tourism, all that needs to happen is for the tourists to stop going there.

#10 It's like a virus.

Encouraged and rewarded by the likes of Colin Shroomhead, Soros, De Blasio, Kim Foxx in Shitcago, the Chavista DA in Kakistan/San Franshitsco, Fauxcahontas repeating the vicious lies of BLM ("Michael Brown was murdered")...

These vile individuals have bred this virus causing violent, feral behavior as surely as if it were a bio-weapon cultivated in a lab.

Soros, De Blasio, Shroomhead et al = the petri dish.

#11 Maldives is a super-high dollar tourist resort with the best scuba diving in the world. Think $800 a night rooms, private islands, over-water bungalows.

What's with the rash of crime videos that have nothing to do with terrorism? We're talking about the camel-fuckers here.

Yes it is and it is very nice indeed. They keep the beer cold too. I'm guessing that the "infidel" government is not best pleased at this threat to their national cash flow.

BTW, several of those semi-anonymous tourist islands have the flavor of Casablanca. They're a great place for casual meetings.

#13 Do I recall correctly that Maldives accepted a few of the terrorists that 0bumhole had exported from Guantanamo?
