Daily Mail: "Up to six injured after 'axe-wielding man' goes on the rampage in Dusseldorf train station as 'accomplice is arrested by anti-terror police after JUMPING off a bridge to escape'" (Updated)

Update (3/10/2017): "Axeman wounds 9 in German train station rampage"--AFP via Yahoo. Confirmation that it was a Muslim refugee from Kosovo, but still sticking to the mentally unsound narrative. Supposedly the attacker was wanting to commit suicide by cop, but he nevertheless fled from authorities to avoid capture.

I just find the obfuscation over the identity of the attacker and whether he was a Muslim very interesting.

Update (3/10/2017): Now the media is reporting that the attacker was from Kosovo. According to Wikipedia, "A large majority of the people of Kosovo follow Islam, while a small portion follow Christianity. According to 2011 census (which was partially boycotted by Serbs as well as no data from North Kosovo), 95.6% of Kosovars followed Islam." So, statistically, the attacker was likely a Muslim.

Update (3/9/2017): Reports now indicate that there was only one person involved and that he was mentally ill. However, the attacker is described as being from the former Yugoslavia, which still does not rule out an Islamic inspired attack. (See also "The Bosnia Crisis: Serbs, Croats and Muslims: who hates who and why: Tony Barber in Zagreb traces the ancient roots of a culture clash that has shattered what was Yugoslavia into warring pieces"--Independent (1992)). Also, the number of wounded is now listed as 7, including two police officers.

Original Post: The Daily Mail reports on terrorist attack in Dusseldorf:
       At least six people have been injured after an axe-wielding man went on a rampage at a Dusseldorf train station. 
       Two people have been arrested and German anti-terror police believe that others are now on the run. 
       Reports claim that one of the attackers ran towards a nearby underground station and jumped from a bridge as they attempted to flee.  He was arrested after injuring himself in his unsuccessful escape attempt. 
       Pictures from Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, the city's main station, showed one of the victims lying helplessly on the floor as paramedics rushed to their aid. 
       One of those injured is reported to be a 13-year-old, after the axe-man hacked at her upper arm. 
       Police could not confirm how serious victims' injuries are, but some were seen treated in ambulances at the scene. 
The article mentions that this attack is similar to seven other attacks in Germany that were committed by Muslim refugees, some claimed by ISIS. Thus, the implication is that this is another attack by the Religion of Peace.
