    Swiss chainsaw attack "Not an act of terror"

    Switzerland chainsaw attack: Five hurt in Schaffhausen - BBC News



    Nobody was "terrorised" then.

    Kicking off in Switzerland

    Search ongoing for Swiss chainsaw attack suspect - SWI swissinfo.ch

    Man went into a branch of a health insurer and attacked staff with a chainsaw. Five people injured, two seriously.

    Police have released these facts:
    51 year old man, normally lives rough in the woods
    He was registered in Graubunden, but has since de-registered
    His VW Caddy registered in Graubunden has been found, but not known if he drove it recently
    He has a criminal record, 2 recent convictions for owning weapons
    He has some sort of disagreement with the CSS health insurance company
    The police consider him dangerous, and advise everyone to stay at home or in the office
    The police have no idea where he is, or which way he went
    A helicopter is searching the area for the man

    It is not being treated as a terrorist incident.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              Switzerland is expecting that there will be a terror attack at some point.
