Armed police ‘surround building where Dutch tram gunman is believed to be holed up’ after killing one person and wounding several others in feared terror attack

(And here I was all ready to write an article to remind everyone that the most important thing of all is that there should be no backlash for this lone wolf, militant attack in New Zealand)

Dutch armed police have surrounded a building where a suspected gunman ‘with a possible terrorist motive’ who opened fire on a tram in Utrecht, killing at least one person and injuring several others, is believed to be holed up. 

 

The gunman, who may not have been acting alone, opened fire on a tram in the central Dutch city at around 10.45am local time on Monday, before reportedly fleeing the scene in a red Renault Clio compact sedan, which has since been found abandoned in Utrecht.

 

Heavily armed anti-terror officers gathered in front of an apartment block some 200 yards from the scene the shooting. Police said they were searching for the shooter ‘with all possible means.’

 

Shortly after 12.30pm local time, the Dutch government raised the terrorism threat level to the highest possible in the province of Utrecht. 

 

The head of the Dutch counter-terrorism agency Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said in a statement that the ‘threat level has gone to 5, exclusively for the Utrecht province,’ referring to the highest level, adding that the shooting ‘appears to be a terrorist attack’.

Clearly muslims never got the memo about no-backlash. I wonder why that is?

    “POLICE have issued the first picture of a man wanted in connection with the shooting on a tram in the central Dutch city of Utrecht.

    Police in Utrecht have issued the picture, believed to have been taken from the footage of a CCTV camera, of a man identified as 37-year-old Gökman Tanis. The Turkish national is currently wanted by officers who are investigating this morning’s tragic events. Utrecht Police wrote on Twitter: “The police are asking you to look out for the 37-year-old Gökman Tanis (born in Turkey) in connection with the incident this morning at it #24oktoberplein In Utrecht.

    “Do not Approach him, but call directly the Opsporingstip line 0800-6070”.

    Earlier today a gunman opened fire against the passengers of a tram, an incident the head of Dutch counter-terrorism said appeared to be a terrorist attack.

    He added shots had been fired at multiple locations, but didn’t elaborate further.

    Counter-Terrorism Agency head Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said during a news conference: “In Utrecht there was a shooting at several locations.

    “A lot is still unclear at this point and local authorities are working hard to establish all the facts.

    “What we already know is that a culprit is at large.”

    Adding the shooting “appears to be a terrorist attack”, Mr Aalbersberg declined to confirm the number of casualties.

    However, the Netherland Police have confirmed one person was killed and serveral had been injured.

    The terrorism threat in the country has been raised to the highest level in the Utrecht province.

    Schools were shut down and Dutch airports and other infrastructures saw their security increased with the arrival of paramilitary police.

    Security was stepped up also at mosques, following the horrific massacre which took place last week in Christchurch, New Zealand.

    By ALEKSANDAR FURTULA and MIKE CORDE

    UTRECHT, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch police were hunting down a suspect after a shooting Monday on a tram in the central Dutch city of Utrecht that left one person dead and multiple people injured.

    Authorities immediately raised the terror alert for the area to the maximum level and said they are considering the possibility of a “terrorist motive” in the attack. Dutch military police went on extra alert at Dutch airports and at key buildings in the country as the Utrecht manhunt took place.

    A few hours after the shooting, Utrecht police released a photo of a 37-year-old man born in Turkey who they said was “associated with the incident.” The photo showed a bearded man on board a tram, dressed in a dark blue hooded top.

    There is no spoon “memo”, and the only “backlash” that happens goes on in the town square. All because Islam’s manufactured “reality” is a win for Muslims regardless of outcome.

    And, as Old Bill would say, “Therein lies the rub.” The only real (and I do mean real) backlashing downside to Islam is living UNDER Islam.

    Dying’s the easy part for Muslims. Waaaay too easy. If not out of respect for ourselves, then just out of sheer regard for Islam, we need to make it all one helluva lot easier.

    Beijing launches propaganda campaign to counter abuse claims by human rights groups

    China has claimed to have arrested 13,000 “terrorists” in Xinjiang over the last five years, as it launched an aggressive propaganda campaign in defence of its restrictive measures in the far-western region.

    Human rights advocates and researchers believe more than 1 million Muslims – mostly Uighurs as well as Kazakhs and other groups – are being systematically imprisoned in internment camps where they are forced to undergo political re-education.

    On Monday China’s state council released a white paper on “the fight against terrorism and extremism” and “human rights protection in Xinjiang”, in which Beijing attempted to quantify the campaign.

    “Since 2014, Xinjiang has destroyed 1,588 violent and terrorist gangs, arrested 12,995 terrorists, seized 2,052 explosive devices, punished 30,645 people for 4,858 illegal religious activities, and confiscated 345,229 copies of illegal religious material,” the report said.
