Terror Motive Investigated In Ireland Refugee Knife Rampage
Police have said that terrorism is one line of inquiry in their investigation into the attack, which targeted three and left one man dead. Other facts emerging Thursday morning, reported by the Irish Mirror, include that the man had filed his asylum claim just three days ago, after arriving in Ireland via Northern Ireland and Scotland, and that he had already been refused asylum in the UK. Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan told the Irish Times,"There will be an international dimension obviously. We will be speaking to the Egyptian authorities." According to the paper, Sherlocks believe the man was stopped on New Year’s Day by police, who asked for his papers before instructing him to apply for asylum. The Egyptian national was just 18 years old and the man he killed has been named as Japanese factory worker Yosuke Sasaki, who was knifed as he walked home with headphones in, unaware of the danger. The attacker went on to target two Irish men at separate locations before being apprehended by police. As Breitbart London reported, the incident began in Dundalk, Co. Louth, around 9 am on Wednesday morning. The killer was said to be not cooperating with Irish police Wednesday night, who are considering both a terrorism motive as well as assessing the man’s mental health.
