Russia knife attacker wounds seven in Surgut

[Kontinuum]

Seven people have been wounded in a knife attack in the Russian city of Surgut, security sources say.
The man, who apparently stabbed passers-by on the street at random, was shot dead by police.
The injured have been taken to hospital, where two are in a critical condition, the state-owned RIA Novosti news agency reports.
The Islamic State militant group (IS) said on its official news channel that it was behind the attack.
Russia's Investigations Committee said it had identified the attacker and was checking his psychological history.
The attacker was a local resident born in 1994, it said.
A spokeswoman for the committee told Reuters news agency she would not comment on the possibility of terrorist motives, calling the attack "attempted murder".
The attack happened at about 11:20 local time (06:20 GMT). An earlier statement said eight people had been wounded, but that was later revised to seven.
Surgut, about 2,100km (1,300 miles) east of Moscow in the Khanty-Mansiysk area of Siberia, has a population of more than 350,000.

I'm glad none of the victims died. Man these attacks are like every week now.

Yeah, 99% of the time it's a dumb young man in 16-26. Pretty sure I have never heard about an adult religious terrorist. Well, at least the one that executes the orders.

Do you even know where Surgut is? If we report on every stabbing, we will flood this forum instantly to page 200

What are you implying? People in Surgut are less important than in Barcelona, Paris, Wherever? ISIS promoted killing is not a common (at least yet) thing.

Fucking hell, no. But it's fucking ridiculous to post every stabbing ON THIS PLANET. It's becoming just plain and simple fear mongering. I could do nothing else all day long but post reports of crimes here. IS claims each and every little shit and we all go #prayfor

This forum is becoming more and more just a morbid collection of bullshit

I'm against forum bloating with these threads as well, but there are clear differences between random stabbing by some drug addict/criminal and mass stabbing by brainwashed religious people that is "trending" around the globe with deep roots for continuation.

Unfortunately, I expect we'll see more stabbings. Guns make noise, but with a knife there may be two or three people down before panic is widespread and a couple more before people figure out what the panic is about.

Yeah attacking people who are unarmed and relaxed just living as they should be expected to do, allows someone in a effort to demonstrate their weakness. Nothing could ever be gained by this.

Lots of copycats....I am not for censoring but somtime I wished the news media only did a short notice after some imbecile did try to do a massacre, rather than bask in it.

Shame they did not take him alive for some good old russian interrogation.

Did Putin comment on this yet?
