Machete Attack on Linz Police Station Linked to Islamism

In a shocking incident early Friday morning, a police station in Linz am Rhein was targeted in a machete attack by a 29-year-old Albanian, raising alarms about radical Islamist motivations. As the assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar,” he was met with a crucial security gate that prevented what could have been a tragic loss of life. Investigators have since uncovered evidence linking the attack to extremist ideologies, including the discovery of an Islamic State flag in the suspect's home. This incident underscores the persistent threat posed by radicalization within European communities.

Junge Freiheit: The armed attack on a police station in Linz am Rhein apparently has an Islamist background. A 29-year-old Albanian stormed the station with a machete and shouted "Allahu Akbar". Only a security gate saved the police from a possible bloodbath.

Koblenz - After the failed attack on a police station in Linz am Rhein, investigators have discovered evidence of a radical Islamist motivation. A 29-year-old Albanian stormed the police station in the Rhineland-Palatinate city on Friday at 2:40 a.m. with a machete and shouted "Allahu Akbar," the Koblenz public prosecutor's office said .

"During the ongoing search of the apartment, a flag of the terrorist organization abroad, 'Islamic State', was found drawn on a wall." The State Central Office for Combating Terrorism and Extremism took over the investigation "on the grounds of attempted murder by attack with a machete."
Gate saves police officer’s life

Apparently, the attempted murder of the migrant on Friday morning was only prevented by a security checkpoint. The 29-year-old stormed the station and threatened to "kill the colleagues at the police station," police spokesman Jürgen Fachinger said.

However, only the first of the two doors opened. The officers had to open the second one by pressing a button. And they didn't do that. On the contrary: they also closed the first gate in this way, so that the attacker was caught between the two doors.

SEK overpowers machete-wielding Albanian

All appeals by the officers over the intercom to explain to the attacker his hopeless situation were of no use. The migrant continued to make violent threats and was extremely aggressive.

The Linz police then called the special forces from Koblenz for help. The special unit stormed the security gate two hours later. They incapacitated the migrant with a taser and arrested him. The Albanian was slightly injured, the police spokesman said. The Koblenz district court issued an arrest warrant.
