A group of Japanese pilots bombed Pearl Harbor this morning. Authorities said their motive was unclear, and cautioned Americans against Japanophobia.
“Moscow gun attack: Second FSB officer dies after assault on HQ,” BBC, December 20, 2019 (thanks to Elizabeth):
A second Russian security officer has died after a gunman opened fire at the Federal Security Service (FSB) headquarters in Moscow on Thursday.
The FSB officer died of his wounds in hospital, the Investigative Committee (SK) said. The shooting with an assault rifle killed an officer at the scene.
The SK confirmed that a lone gunman, Yevgeny Manyurov, had attacked the HQ’s entrance. A sniper shot him dead.
Five others were wounded when Manyurov opened fire, one of them a civilian.
The SK statement confirmed earlier media reports that Manyurov was aged 39 and had lived just outside Moscow. The motive for his attack remains unclear….
He was single and practised shooting regularly at a gun club, which was a passion for him, his mother is quoted as saying.
She also said she had heard him speaking English on the phone with some “Arabs”, who had started calling him since he had lost his security job.
When he opened fire, Manyurov “was shouting slogans typical of Islamic State”, the daily Kommersant reports. It says the information came from a security source, who quoted witnesses questioned by police.
Fatikh Manyurov, the gunman’s father, gave more details to Russia’s Telegram 112 news channel. His son had told him he was working as a security guard at a foreign embassy, he said. That has not been confirmed, however….

The BBC seems to have great difficulty figuring things out:almost as bad as the British police.
Let’s see if we can help the Journalists and the Detectives shall we?
If it looks like an islamic terrorist,runs amok murdering innocent people like an islamic terrorist and screams in Arabic{“shouting slogans typical of islamic stste”} like an islamic terrorist and if the perpetrator can be shown to be a muslim then he is clearly following the teachings of the islamic ‘holy’ book the koran k2:191and the sunnah of islam’s “prophet” muhammed and so we can say with absolutely certainty that it is
1}..probably not a HINDU
2}something to do with islam{Tick}
What will the police/MSM say?
1}This is nothing to do with islam as.. ISLAm has nothing to do with islAM
2}the attacker was mentally ill:so that’s ok then…

You don’t understand. The BBC WANTS his motive to be unclear. Clarity is available, but they don’t want it, because the BBC has become sly and nefarious about their own agenda.
Joe Scott says
The bbc are appeasing cretins for sluglims … Yes, they certainly are mental cases because who would want to be a sluglim in this day & age … Hope Santa brings a nice Strait Jacket for the very mental sluglim bastard, & i also hope the bbc are well & truly dismantled …

“…the motive for the attack remains unclear.”
That’s OK, we won’t hold it against them, everybody with an IQ above the 3 digit mark has got a pretty clear picture.

The Terrorist are not “mental ill” the journalist are the ones mental ill living in denial of the truth that “some people” hate us, aka Jihadist .That their mission in life is according to their” holy books” is to kill us , or convert us , or enslave us .It is a violent cult that does not give a damn about any culture ,government , customs outside its supremist Fascist religion .Did the journalist ever thing of climbing out of their PC box of group think babble ,have some courage and speak the truth .

The BBC carried, on the same date, the London Bridge fire extinguisher man saying that the terrorist was saying “Allahu Akbar”, and another article saying that the motive was unclear.

Well, President Putin, how is sucking up to Muslim countries like Turkey & Iran, or your own Muslim population, working out for ya? Be as distrustful of the US all you like, but you may wanna take a page out of your pal Narendra Modi’s book
Infidel says
On a different note, I’m glad Manyurov is dead: he’s no longer capable of hurting, much less killing, anyone else. But as I note above, this incident should serve as an eye opener to President Putin, and convince him that Muslim loyalties can never be bought, only rented!
Avenger says
Muslims are 17% of Russia’s population, in the US they are only 1%. There have been more terrorist attacks by Muslims in the US since 9/11 than in Russia.
Who’s better at the helm Infidel?

The US–being the “Great Satan”–is likely a bigger target for Jihad.
Also, I see Muslims as being 6.5% of the population in Russia–unless you are still counting the “Stans”?
I don’t think that appeasement of Muslims, either in the West or in Russia, is a good thing, nor that it makes any of us safer.

Russia: Muslim “shouting slogans typical of Islamic State” opens fire at security HQ, BBC says motive unclear
………………………..
I noted the other day that even though Yevgeny Manyurov has a Russian name that his father Fatikh is clearly Muslim. The shooter also worked security at the United Arab Emirates Embassy in Moscow. That he was “shouting slogans typical of the Islamic State”–which I had not heard until now–confirms that this terror attack was Jihad.
I feel for the families of the two dead FSB officers (one died at the site of the shooting; one later in the hospital). Nowhere is safe from Jihad.

GI, one place is getting safer: Xinjiang UAR in the PRC, where uighurs are being “re-educated,” and their children are being taken from them. there is at least one fascist government that understands its competition, and will likely be the last fascist standing; the fascists of EUrabia, the USSA, canadastan, and australiastan will not survive. the methods the PRC are using are appalling and monstrous, but if the PRC follows through, it will work. meanwhile, it is unbelievable that putin of the KGB doesn’t understand islam, but there it is. who knows, maybe someday a free china may arise, because they won’t have to deal with the gang-banger sex and death cult of islam. or not; freedom is never guaranteed, and we are busy giving it up. *I* will die free, probably of a leftist or pious islamic 9mm slug, but my descendants will likely die enslaved.

Things are bad, b.a. freeman, but I have not given up yet.
There was a great deal of willful ignorance over the danger of Fascism and the Nazis before WWII, and some even lauded Fascism as being “modern” and “efficient”, and castigated Anti-Fascists like Churchill as being “hysterical” or even–laughably–as “warmongers”.
But it was, finally, the Anti-Fascists who were able to wake people up in time. I still have hopes that we can do the same now.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Seems like the only country that understands the threat of islam and has the guts to take considered action, is China.
Myanmar got it very, very wrong though….truly disgusting acts of violence such as ripping children from their mothers and throwing them into the house fires. What a bunch of savages.
b.a. freeman says
Polit, what would U do if U had witnessed your family being murdered? i’m sorry to admit that i would probably stop caring so much about getting the right bad guy, when there were so many bad guys around. the bad guys right in front of me may not have raped my wife and little girl, or raped and murdered my little boy, but it’s virtually certain that they probably *did* do that to some other innocent. that kind of revenge killing should not be done – *EVER* – but it is hard to fault an angry populace that has finally had enough from the cult of death. these people are not savages; they are hurting, and have been brutalized for years. what else do U expect?
Infidel says
I’ve seen Burmese posters on Twitter (before they were banned) post photos of beheaded Buddhists and Hindus in Burma. The idea that the ‘Rohingya’ Muslims are a persecuted lot is the usual Islamic propaganda, no different from the anti-Serb propaganda of the 90s that too many otherwise civilized people fell for
