pallidin Posted July 22, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 22, 2016 A suspected terror attack on a Munich shopping mall Friday left at least nine people dead, including a possible gunman, and triggered a massive search for other shooters. Late Friday, authorities said they were investigating whether one of the victims at the near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall was an attacker who had committed suicide. Earlier police spokesman Peter Beck told reporters that authorities were searching for three shooters, whom he described as "on the run" and "dangerous." He added that the gunmen were armed with rifles and that Islamist terrorism was not suspected as a motive.

Helen of Annoy Posted July 22, 2016 #27 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well, I'd say that there's nothing officially new so far. Probably three shooters of unknown or undisclosed identity yet, one of them probably dead, two probably not caught yet. It was suspected to be a terror attack from the beginning, ever since the psycho started shooting random people in the street, naturally... but there's nothing confirmed yet. And it doesn't look like SISIS, though they already jumped to claim it... but they're trying to claim any murderer that crawls around lately. Soon they'll claim domestic disputes or car accidents too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual Tournament Posted July 22, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 22, 2016 ...just heard on Skynews that German authorities suspect that the gunman (and up to three accomplices) were homegrown and anti-immigrant. If true, this terrorist situation is U-turning into a frightening direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted July 22, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Terrorists against immigration and ISIS terrorist are not the same. This attack appears to be directed at immigrant Turks, as opposed to ISIS just killing everyone non-sharia. Well, that's my understanding. Could be wrong.

I agree with you that its still far too early to discern any facts from this shooting but you said something that is confusing to me. How do you connect Islamic and anti-immigrant together?

One of the shooters may have set up a profile on social network under Turkish sounding female name and invited people to the restaurant where the shooting started. I think that's where from the info of islamist contacts of the shooters came. Maybe. I don't know. We'll see. One way or the other, damn idiots.

HandsomeGorilla Posted July 22, 2016 #42 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) To LLM: Because you've heard that they may be anti-immigrant groups, which one would wouldn't really expect a Muslim to be a part of, immigrant or not. However, the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I hope that makes sense. Edited July 22, 2016 by Not Your Huckleberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV-426 Posted July 23, 2016 #48 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Latest update: Munich shooting: Gunman acted alone, say police "The suspect was an 18-year-old Iranian who lived in Munich, police told a news conference, but his motive is unclear." All the facts aren't in yet, but I'm going to hazard a guess that this isn't a Nazi retaliation or the Anders Breivik fan club... If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck... Edited July 23, 2016 by LV-426 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra. Posted July 23, 2016 #49 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If this was another lone wolf attack affiliated with ISIS.....well it seems to be the latest tactic they're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLOMBIE Posted July 23, 2016 #50 Share Posted July 23, 2016 German-Iranian. He held both citizenships. So far it does not seem like he is affiliated with ISIS. So far. The investigations will show that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
