Possible Terror Attack in Switzerland? Two people were strangled and stabbed tonight (Tuesday) in a department store in the city of Lugano in southern Switzerland. The Swiss police have arrested the 28 year old assailant and the incident is being investigated as a terror attack. The Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, whose country earlier this month dealt with a jihadist shooting where four died in Vienna, condemned the attack saying that, "I fully condemn today’s Islamist terrorist attack in Lugano. My thoughts are with the victims wishing them a full & swift recovery. We stand with Switzerland in these difficult hours. We'll give a joint response to Islamist terrorism in Europe and defend our values.” Neutral Switzerland has so far been spared the kind of large-scale jihadist attacks that prompted France and Germany this month to push for tighter European Union borders after suspected Islamist militants killed eight people in Paris, Nice and Vienna within a month.
