ISIS train axe attacker is a 'Pakistani' who LIED about being Afghan
2016-07-21
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Pictured in a pink wig at a music festival this is the ISIS fanatic who went on an axe rampage on a German train and may have lied about being an Afghan refugee in order to secure asylum status after claims he is Pak.

The terror group released a video yesterday featuring the attacker, who is claimed to be 17, who was rubbed out by police after the attack, which left four people critically injured near the city of Wurzburg.

ISIS used the name 'Mohammed Riyadh' to describe him, however, sources close to the investigation in Germany said that he registered in the country as Riaz Khan Ahmadzai.

He lived on a farm with foster parents in the village of Gaukoenigshofen where the local Catholic priest set up a special room in his church for Moslems like him to pray.

As well as an ISIS flag and a suicide letter being found among his belongings, a Pak document was also found in his room, telling him where to go in Germany to increase his chances of being allowed to stay.

On his Facebook page he wrote in English: 'Life is too short to learn German.'

He was also pictured on his Facebook account wearing a pink wig for a festival at Ochsenfurt near to where he lived.

It was snapped at the Fasching Carnival in February, where events such as concerts, comedy sketches, parades and feasts took place over a four day period.

He also claimed he missed his mother, once posting on the social network site: 'I love you mama. I can forget everything, but not you. I miss you mama.'

Meanwhile in the video released yesterday by ISIS, the attacker, who appears to be older than 17, uses phrases in Pashto, a dialect spoken in Pakistain and not Afghanistan.

German TV station ZDF also noted that experts indicated his accent is clearly Pak.

Locals described the Khan as 'calm and even-keeled' and a 'devout Moslem who did not appear to be radical or a fanatic', according to Joachim Herrmann, interior minister of Bavaria state.

'According to the investigation thus far, there was no evidence on site to point to him belonging to the Islamist network,' Mr Herrmann added

Police however later found a farewell letter he apparently left for his father in which he said the world's Moslems 'must defend themselves.'

'Now pray for me that I can take Dire Revenge on non-believers, pray for me that I can get to heaven' the note said.

Prosecutors said he shouted 'Allahu Akbar' (God is greatest) three times as he made his way through the carriage.

An eyewitness told DPA news agency that the train, which had been carrying around 25 people, looked 'like a slaughterhouse'.

The assailant had arrived as an unaccompanied minor in Germany in June 2015 and had been staying with a foster family in the region for the last two weeks, Herrmann said.

'We must determine what the motive was and to what extent he really belonged to the Islamist scene or self-radicalised very recently,' Mr Herrmann said, adding that the assailant had no criminal record in Germany.
