"German police have shot dead a 17-year-old Afghan refugee after wielding an axe and a knife that injured at least four people on a train in Bavaria.

"Three people were in a serious condition, one person sustained light injuries, and 14 people are being treated for shock.

"Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria’s interior minister, confirmed the asylum seeker had arrived in Germany as an unaccompanied minor, and had been living with a foster family in the Bavarian town of Ochsenfurt.

"The motive for the attack, which took place between Ochsenfurt and Wuerzburg-Heidingsfeld train stations, remained unclear.

"After the train made an emergency stop, the attacker fled before being confronted by a police taskforce that happened to be in the area. Reports suggest he attacked police officers before he was shot.

Speaking to public television, Herrmann could not confirm reports that the teenager the teenager had shouted “Allahu Akbar” (”God Is Great”) during the assault, it was reported. Herrmann added that a hand painted flag of so-called Islamic State had been found in the teenager’s room."

RED FLAGS!

"Police taskforce happened to be  in the area."

"Shouted “Allahu Akbar” (”God Is Great”) during the assault"

"Hand painted flag of so-called Islamic State had been found in the teenager’s room."

"Before he was shot (dead)."

This case may be genuine but we have a number of familiar (false flag) features and coincidences such as a specialist armed police squad at the very spot the train did its emergency stop. It would urge CAUTION in accepting the account at face before further details are known.

"Eyewitnesses who saw the horror of the German train attack have said the scene "looked like a slaughterhouse"."

This exact quote has just been used on the BBC One O'clock News.

The media you notice are painting a vivid emotional picture that is repeated ad nauseum. Did you notice that the alleged driver of the Nice truck was said to come from the 'Abattoir' area of the city or that the notoious 'Chevaline Massacre' in France in 2012, translated to Horse Slaughterhouse? Many questions have been raised regarding the brutal events in Woolwich, London, in 2013 akin to butchery. (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d0f_1369235265)

Are these touches purely accidental, or intentional ploys to reinforce the horror of the event?

What I would like to ask is how was it possible to get the above photograph immediately out on the internet when the train stopped in the middle of nowhere and must have been declared a crime scene? 

The importance origins of these images cannot be overstated in trying to get to the bottom of so-called 'terrorist incidents'.

"MINDFULLY FOR THE MOMENT"

The reasonable questions that should be asked of him are how he came to be there and did he take the interior crime scene photographs with police permission or without it. If the latter why was the crime scene not cordoned off by police? 

These are not frivilous questions but central to their production and authenticity.

Another important question is why the police shot dead the the 17 year old boy, given the fact he was allegedly 'running away'. It is claimed he 'threatened' the police, but given the fact he was allegedly only armed with an axe, this appears highly exaggerated. In what way was he able to threaten the police requiring fatal force? 

Yet again we see a highly questionable policy, demonstrated since at least Charlie Hebdo, of intentional killing by specially trained police, rather than capturing and arresting alive.

Previously this was justified on the grounds the accused posed a gun risk which can be seen as reasonable. Note this reason was given in the case of Nice attack, yet is unsupported by the actual video. But this was a youth, with an axe, running away, from heavily armed police. 

What real justification can be proferred in this slide into State Sponsored Death Squads, other than a shoot to kill policy designed as warning or even prevent the accused from talking. 

Increasingly we are seeing American and European govenments encouraging the police to side-step the judicial process with extra-judicial killings. No one questions. No one complains because this was a Muslim terrorist after all. But what if he wasn't?

This should be a very real WARNING to everyone.

LATEST VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS (AP) here: http://www.newsadvance.com/news/world/wire/is-group-claims-responsibility-for-train-attack-in-germany/article_778344db-f980-50a5-b5fc-32d1759c4396.html

"BERLIN (AP) — The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Tuesday for an ax-and-knife attack on a German train that left at least five people injured, but authorities said it appears the 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who was shot and killed by police as he fled the scene appears to have self-radicalized and had no direct link to the extremists."

Isn't that a contradiction in terms? How can "ISIS" (that discredited western outfit) claim credit for an attack when the youth 'had no direct links to the extremists'. That's an even more tenuous link than that of Osama bin Laden and 9/11!

Isis releases video of Bavaria train attacker making threats
"The assault happened around 9:15 pm on the train which runs between the town of Treuchlingen and Wuerzburg in Bavaria.

“It is not at all surprising that Isis have taken responsibility for this attack,” Dr. David Arn, an expert on Isis at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich told The Local on Tuesday.

“It is currently ‘en vogue’ for Isis to take responsibility for the actions of so-called ‘lone wolves’”, he said, adding that this attack seemed to be “exactly the same phenomenon” as the more fatal rampages in Nice and Orlando.

It is unlikely that Isis had any role in coordinating these attacks, he argues, saying that they appear to be the actions of people acting alone who use the call to jihad as an excuse for their crimes."

Two sources are quoted: David Thomson, 33, an Isis expert at French radio station RFI. (He tweeted that "to prove the link the agency Amaq has released a video of the German train attacker) and
Dr. David Arn, 39, is an Associate Professor at the Institute for the Near and Middle East, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich.

Thomson appears to be a respected journalist and specialist on matters Jihadist. Wikipedia (here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Thomson_(journaliste)) has this on him: 

"In his treatment of this news, David Thomson works only from jihadists sources and refuses any contact with the intelligence services, police and justice, a position that it is sometimes critical but that the journalist claims. After the Brussels bombings in March 2016, he denounced a "circular flow of non-expertise" in the media and its influence on public debate and policy making on terrorism."

This of course is not to say that the security services do not use him as a conduit whenever convenient.

In this article (http://www.thelocal.de/20160719/ten-most-important-points-about-bavaria-axe-attack) he is quoted as suggesting:

"Isis will use the attack to split German society, Dr. David Arn of Ludwig Maximilian University predicted, adding that this is part of a strategy developed in 2015 called “extinguishing the grey zone".

“By this they mean eradicating the ‘grey area’ in which Muslim can live in 'the land of the unbelievers.'

"They want to create a situation where the security measures against refugees become so restrictive that it becomes impossible for them to live in Europe anymore, or alternatively that an Islamic state is created in Europe as well.”

This is the image of the alleged Jihadi assailant named as "Mohammed Riyadh".  "The Amaq statement claims that the 17-year-old Afghan who carried out the attack had "executed the operation in response to calls to target nations in the coalition fighting the Islamic state." (Source: http://www.thelocal.de/20160718/several-injured-in-knife-attack-on-bavarian-regional-train)  Most news sources have declined to name the assailant, possibly because he was under 18, or possibly because his identity is still unsure, or even for other undisclosed reasons. Clearly the fact that his home address was immediately located by presumably police who were strangers, must mean his identity was quickly established in some way or other as yet unexplained.
