On the 22nd July 2016, a terror attack took place at the Olympia Shopping Centre in Munich, by Ali David Soliby, an eighteen-year-old German of Iranian origin who killed nine and injured twenty-seven young people, and later committed suicide. He was armed with a Glock pistol and had more than 300 bullets with him. According to “Spiegel” he had acquired this weapon through the internet.
The fact that this new attack was not connected with ISIS and had no political connotations, rather alarms than reassures the authorities, as lately, there is a tendency of "lone wolves" who imitating organised terrorist acts, kill many innocent people.
Apparently, the perpetrator was under psychiatric observation, he had an obsession with mass murders and a great urge for revenge against his schoolmates who bullied him at school. According to the Munich police, he was planning this attack for over a year. Also, through a false Facebook, he had invited young Munich residents for a meal at McDonalds, on the precise date and time of the attack.
Most of his victims were teenagers. Among them was a seventeen-year-old Greek who was shot dead, trying to save his twin sister and who was referred to, by the international press, as the Hero of Munich. Why is there so much hatred and violence in the world?
We mourn with the relatives of the young victims for their great loss, we wish to tell the residents of Munich that our thoughts are with them and we congratulate the German police force for their prompt and admirable intervention.
Four days before, on the 18th July, on a train near Wurzburg, a teenage Afgan refugee had injured several passengers with an axe and knife, before being killed by the police.
On the 24th July, a 21-year-old Syrian killed a pregnant woman with a machete and injured 5 other people. He was later arrested.
On the same date, in the small town of Ansbach a 27-year-old Syrian, blew himself up, wounding fifteen innocent people, when his entrance to the music festival, where 2500 people were present, was refused.
Up to the 18th July, Germany had been spared of these insane terrorist acts. Then suddenly four in a week. Why? For what reason?
Also, on Tuesday the 25th July, two men entered the church in Saint-Etienne du Rouvray, near Rouen in Normandy during early morning prayers, They forced the 86-year-old Catholic priest, Father Jacques Hamel, to his knees and brutally killed him and then they filmed themselves preaching in Arabic at the altar. They were later killed by the police and their terrified hostages were released. One of the killers lived in the vicinity. He was previously jailed, in France, for terrorist affiliations and was later released, "despite the protests of the prosecutors". He wore an electronic tag, so his movements we monitored but he was allowed to leave his parents home, each day, from 8.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m., during which time this shocking, insane, barbarous, crime occurred.
