Fourteen people have been wounded, some seriously, in a knife attack on a bus in the German city of Luebeck, local reports say.

Police in the city, in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, said a suspect had been taken into custody.

A police spokesperson confirmed that no one was killed in the attacks. An area surrounding a bus stop in the Kuecknitz neighbourhood was sealed off.

Pictures from the scene showed a public bus at the side of the road.

Wonderful from The Telegraph. Unlike other media sources, this article finishes by linking the attack with Islamists (and then providing a link to its 'Terrorism' section)

I know it’s not PC, but what do you think most people will think when they hear this type of story. A very high percentage will be wondering if it is linked to IS/Islam etc. Of course, they aren’t always, but there have been a lot so it’s not an unexpected assumption.

Their actual words were
While the motive has not been established, Germany has been on high alert after several deadly Islamist extremist attacks.

The point is that until the attacker is identified together with their motives the other reports have stayed silent and not made any reference to extremists but the Telegraph are click-baiting by linking to theor terrorist pages.

According to Lübecker Nachrichten, the attacker is an Iranian man in his mid-30s.

Lets be brutality honest. It was never going to be a native German was it ?
