Ohio student stabs people with a butcher knife before being shot dead

A student of Ohio State University went on a stabbing spree in the campus of the University. He was a Somali-born student and he plowed his car into a group of pedestrians on campus. Then he got out of the car and began to stab people with a butcher knife today before being shot dead by an officer.
The incident happened on on the 60,000-student campus of the University.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 29 November 2016.

A total of eleven people were hurt, one of them is critical. Most of the injured were hurt by the car, and at least two were stabbed and one had a fractured skull.
It seems the assailant deliberately drove his small grey Honda over a curb outside an engineering classroom building and then began knifing people. He has been identified as being born in Somalia and he was a legal permanent US resident. The FBI has joined the investigation.
The Islamic State group wants its sympathizers online to carry out "lone wolf" attacks in their home countries with whatever weapons are available to them. Police are investigating whether this was a terrorist attack.

ISIS could use drones to drop bombs or nuclear wastes on Britain

Security experts have cautioned that ISIS could launch attacks on Britain by using drones to drop bombs of nuclear wastes or poison bombs over Britain because they have already done it in Iraq and Syria. UK officials are believed to have come across evidence that the terror group is flying armed commercial drones over Syria and Iraq.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 28 July 2016.

It seems the militants have deployed small drones carrying explosives to blow up troops and made use of spy cameras on drones to map out army positions. Hence, there are fears that lone-wolf jihadists could use drones to spray deadly nuclear waste over British cities or blow up civilians on the streets.
Moreover, the drones or pilotless flying machines posed a 'direct threat' to Western troops on the ground in Iraq, including British troops and these can be purchased easily on websites such as Amazon and delivered to doors in Britain. The terror group could easily purchase drones in Britain and insert a small explosive on them to kill a handful of people or even chemical weapons to inflict mass casualty damage. There is, therefore, a need to to have tougher regulations on commercial drones in Britain to ensure safety of the people.

Lone wolf attack in Munich mall kills 10 including the attacker

In a lone wolf attack in Munich, at least nine people were killed and 16 others injured in the shooting rampage at a busy shopping district in Munich, Germany. There were many children among the casualties. The gunman started shooting at a McDonald's across from the Olympia mall which is adjacent to the site of the 1972 Olympics.
The mall is located in a middle-class neighborhood in northern Munich and is the city's biggest mall as well as a popular destination for shoppers on Friday nights.
The unidentified attacker was an 18-year-old German-Iranian who had been living in the city for at least two years. This has been reported in edition.cnn.com dated 23 July 2016.

The police searched for more attackers presuming that there were three of them but found a man who had killed himself on a side street near Olympia shopping mall and concluded that this man was the gunman. This decision was also based on surveillance video and statements of witnesses.
The unidentified attacker was not known to police and his motives are unclear. No group has claimed responsibility for this attack. This latest incident of shooting comes as recent terrorist attacks have put Europe on high alert especially after the Bastille Day attack in Nice, France in which 84 people were killed.

ISIS planned to carry out ‘lone wolf’ terror attacks, target the Queen and the Royal family

#ISIS #Syria #London #Raqqa #lonewolfattack The new war cry of British jihadists in Syria is for establishing ‘lone wolf’ attack on the streets of Britain – some details of these plots have come to surface through messages from former computer hacker and his wife who had joined ISIS in 2013.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 11 August 2015.

The pair - dubbed as Mr and Mrs Terror – had been caught trying to incite carnage. It seems they have confided to undercover reporters, who had posed as wannabe jihadis, to carry out so-called 'Lone Wolf' attacks in Britain. The duo had even sent them guidebooks on how to make bombs.
Moreover, the militants have also revealed plans to target the Queen and the Royal Family with pressure cooker bombs. And, another terror chief has apparently claimed that four or five British recruits, trained in Syria, have now returned to Britain to launch strikes.
The plot was unearthed by two reporters posing as male and female jihadis on Twitter and in chatrooms. They made contact with the two British ISIS militants. One of them, the man, is from Birmingham and runs the ISIS recruitment arm in the terror group's de facto capital of Raqqa in Syria. He is a top-five target for the U.S. Secret Service.
The interactions between the reporters and this man went on for nearly four months and, they convinced the terrorists that they wanted to make a bomb. The woman then supplied them with detailed instructions on how to construct a pressure cooker explosive – she also insisted on seeing receipts to prove they had actually bought the materials.
Anyway, the information of an impending attack on the Queen and the Royal family was forwarded to the police and necessary measures have been taken.
