Austria double-murder suspect was IS supporter: Police
In which the movement of goalposts is made explicit.
[AlAhram] A Tunisian man accused of brutally murdering an elderly couple in their Austrian home last month was a supporter of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 jihadist group, police said Monday.

But police front man David Furtner told AFP the case was being treated as a "double murder" and not a jihadist killing.

"We currently don't believe that it was an IS-motivated murder or terror attack," Furtner said.

"It seems the man radicalised himself but there is no third party who ordered him to carry out the killings and IS has not grabbed credit."

The suspect attacked the couple in the northern city of Linz on June 30, slitting the 85-year-old woman's throat before stabbing and beating her 87-year-old husband to death.

The brutal nature of the killings shocked many in the country.

Police said the man knew the victims, having regularly delivered their groceries from a shop run by his wife, and believed the elderly couple had links to the far right.

The latest investigations show that he became increasingly radicalised last year and recently swore allegiance on his Facebook page to IS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
It's been a while since we called it Sudden Jihad Syndrome, but the overt pledge of allegiance is surely a marker of the moment the jihad-curious becomes jihad-serious, as it were.
While Austria has been spared the major attacks that have hit other European countries including La Belle France, Britannia and Germany, a relatively high number of Austrians have left to wage jihad abroad.

The interior ministry estimates that 300 have left or tried to leave to fight in Syria or Iraq -- a figure that is proportionately high in a population of 8.7 million.

Most of those accused of jihadist links in Austria have been of Chechen or Bosnian origin.
Good to know.
There is no indication that the man suspected of murdering the couple had travelled abroad to fight alongside murderous Moslem groups.
