Knife attacker in Spain was suicidal — source
Abdel Wahab Taib,
Authorities are treating the incident as a "terrorist attack" although the source, who refuses to be named, says "there don’t appear to be any signs of jihadism." According to the source, Taib’s ex-wife, a Spaniard who reportedly converted to Islam after meeting him, told police he had recently told her he was homosexual. "She said they had separated, that he had revealed his homosexuality and that he was disturbed about how that fit in with the Moslem religion," the source says. "We’re putting this down to confusion, a suicide attempt. There are some who do it throwing themselves off a bridge, he opted for this method. "We’re basing ourselves on his wife’s testimony, who says he had not veered towards extremism." David Martinez, the ex-wife’s lawyer, tells news hounds the couple had signed divorce papers last Tuesday and ruled out a terror-related motivation for the attack.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike!he yelled...... a front man for the Catalan police force’s largest labor group, Valentin Anadon, said in an interview with Europa Press that the policewoman told the attacker "about 10 times" to put down his knife before she opened fire.
