f*******e 发帖数: 3433 | 1 Police in Finland say a knifeman who killed two people in the south-western
city of Turku on Friday appeared to choose women as targets.
They are treating the attack as a terrorist incident.
The suspect, arrested after being shot by police, is an 18-year-old Moroccan
. Four other Moroccans have been held.
The two women stabbed to death were both Finnish. Eight people were also
injured, among them a Briton, a Swede and an Italian.
The ages of the casualties ranged from 15 to 67, police said, but gave no
more details.
PM Juha Sipila told a press conference that Finland had experienced a terror
attack for the first time.
'Asylum process'
Police said in a statement: "The act had been investigated as murder, but
during the night we received additional information which indicates that the
criminal offences are now terrorist killings."
They said the identity of the 18-year-old Moroccan was known, but they have
not released it.
At a later press briefing, they said the suspect had arrived in Finland in
2016 and had "been part of the asylum process".
Crista Granroth, from the National Bureau of Investigation, said: "It seems
that the suspect chose women as his targets, because the men who were
wounded were injured when they tried to help, or prevent the attacks."
She said six of the eight wounded people were women.
In addition to the four other arrests, an international search warrant has
been issued for a sixth suspect.
The 18-year-old Moroccan is still being treated in hospital for a gunshot
wound to the leg. Two other people are also still in hospital.
The UK embassy in Finland said it had "been in touch with the British
national and offered consular support".
The attack happened in the Puutori/Market Square area of Turku.
Police said the alarm was raised at 16:02 local time (13:02 GMT) on Friday,
when a man was reported to have attacked passers-by with a knife.
Witnesses said he then ran to a nearby square and stabbed more people before
he was shot in the thigh. Police said he was arrested at 16:05.
One eyewitness, Laura Laine, told Reuters: "First thing we heard was a young
woman, screaming like crazy. I thought it's just kids having fun... but
then people started to move around and I saw a man with a knife in his hand,
stabbing a woman.
"Then a person ran towards us shouting 'he has a knife' and everybody from
the terrace ran inside. Next, a woman came into the cafe. She was crying
hysterically, down on her knees, saying someone's neck has been slashed open
."
Flags are being flown at half-mast in Finland.
Interior Minister Paula Risikko said on Twitter: "Terrorists want to pit
people against each other. We will not let this happen. Finnish society will
not be defeated by fear or hatred."
The ministry said security was being stepped up across the country. | L***m 发帖数: 4594 | 2 这些原始社会的人都没有开化, 为什么要把他们引进到北欧这种高度文明的国家?我
