2016-07-21
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The authorities in Germany have reportedly expressed doubts regarding the country of origin of the train attacker who was alleged to be an Afghan asylum seeker.

According to local international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, the authorities have doubts regarding the identity of the attacker.

Emaq news agency which is close to 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....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group published a video of the attacker who introduces himself as Mohammad Riyad speaking in Pashto language.

Riyad claims he is a soldier of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and informs regarding his so called sacred operation in Germany.

However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
doubts regarding the exact identity of the attacker and if he was an Afghan have increased after his accent was noted.

The Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF) TV network citing the security sources reported that the attacker was using Pak words in his speech.

Language experts have also said that the attacker’s accent was Pak and in the video he has been identified as Mohammad Riyad but the authorities in Germany have said he was recorded by a different name in Germany.

The Sherlocks have also said they believe the attacker has used the Afghan identity to increase his chance to claim asylum as police has found a Pak document from his room as well.
Under the circumstances, the question arises whether the claimed lad of seventeen wasn't actually a man of much more mature years.
