Swiss police identify arrested assailant in knife attack as jihadist
|
[Jpost] Ticino cantonal police said the attack was over and the suspect, a 28-year-old who lives in the area, was in jug.
Swiss police have identified a Swiss woman who knifed a victim in the neck and grabbed another by the throat in a Lugano department store on Tuesday as a known jihadist.
Federal prosecutors have called the incident in the Italian-speaking southern canton of Ticino a suspected terrorist attack and taken charge of the investigation.
"The assailant is know to Fedpol from police investigations in 2017 with a jihadist background," the Federal Office of Police tweeted.
The suspect, a 28-year-old who lives in the area, was in jug after passersby subdued her until police could arrive. Swiss media cited witnesses as saying she called out that she belonged to jihadist group Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Two men arrested in the town of Winterthur near Zurich this month over possible links to a jihadist shooting attack in Vienna that killed four people on Nov. 2
...that would be Kujtim Fejzulai, 22, the dual Macedonian-Austrian citizen of Albanian ethnicity who ran around a few blocks of Jewish Vienna in a fake bomb vest shooting at people for nine whole minutes before the police shot him down like a rabid dog. As is usual with jihadi lone wolves, he had equally malevolent friends. And, it now appears, so does our spunky girl jihadi — or should it be jihadess? visited the attacker in July.
In September, a man Swiss media dubbed the "Emir of Winterthur" and described as a leading Islamist bully boy in Switzerland was sentenced to 50 months in prison for ties to Islamic State.
That’s very probably the unnamed Ethiopian imam of the An’Nur mosque, about whom no more is revealed by a cursory search of Rantburg’s archives ... Federal prosecutors have said that a fatal stabbing of a Portuguese man in September in the town of Morges, in western Switzerland, was still being investigated for a possible "terrorist motive." A Swiss-Ottoman Turkish national has been arrested.
A Swiss woman attacked two other women in a supermarket in southern Switzerland on Tuesday, regional police said, adding that "terrorist motives" could not be excluded.
Police in Switzerland's Italian-speaking Ticino region said they had been alerted to a stabbing in a department store in the city of Lugano shortly before 2:00 pm (1300 GMT).
Initial investigations had established that a 28-year-old Swiss woman had attacked two other women, attempting to choke one with her hands, and injuring a second by cutting her neck with a knife.
Other shoppers managed to subdue the attacker, who was arrested, the police statement said.
An initial medical evaluation showed that one of the victims had suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries, while the other had minor injuries, police said.
Regional police said it did "not exclude terrorist motives", adding that it was working with federal authorities and the local Lugano police on the case.
