I'll reference bits and pieces of this story from Focus Magazine's notes, from late last night.
The city of Lübeck is up on the northern coastal region of Germany.....probably 40 km NE of Hamburg.
What the cops say that occurred on Friday afternoon is some guy (34-years-old) got up on a bus and started to attack folks with a knife.
Several folks were cut to some degree. The blade in this case (described by the cops) is a kitchen knife. The driver jumped up into action, halting the bus and opening doors (it was a double-bus) for folks to exit.
All total.....with the driver, nine other folks injured to some degree. Some more than others.
The attacker? Well....he'd attempted to set off some type of fire-bomb, and the materials just didn't go off as expected.
In the midst of this.....the driver pulls out the fire extinguisher, and puts out the paper-bag bomb.
Nationality? Well...right off the bat, folks tended to hear he was Persian (Iranian) and they felt this was a terror attack. But this case.....the guy had lived in Germany for fair amount of time (one news group had suggested 20 years). He had become a German citizen.
As Focus laid out the piece.....the guy has been described as suffering from mental health issues.....for a fair amount of time.
Late last night.....the guy's dad said that the guy had severe issues. At some point, he accused his nextdoor neighbors of trying to do harm to him with radiation exposure through the house wall.
So, in the end....there was an attack....by a mentally-degranged guy who happened to be Iranian-German in nature.
Nothing more than that.
