Today in Edinburgh, Scotland, a man (described only as a man) approached an apartment building and stabbed two people before being arrested by police after a standoff in the building. Interestingly, I have been checking UK and Scottish news sources, trying to get a more complete description of this guy. However, there is no further identification of the man. You would think that the local news would give more details in the interest of public safety. They began reporting on the incident at the scene even before the man was arrested. They even blocked out his face while he was still loose in the apartment building, looking out a window and posing with knives. Likewise, the BBC. Police told the media that the incident is not terror-related.
So who is this guy, anyway? Does he have 10 fingers and 10 toes? Is he dressed in a Scottish kilt and playing bagpipes?
It seems we have to go all the way to Italy to solve this mystery. Il Giornale reports that the suspect is a Somali. Here is our translation of the headline:
Edinburgh-Armed with knives, (he) injures two people. Somali arrested after a long standoff.
I should note that the links above are subject to being updated, but as of now, only the Italian source (Il Giornale) is reporting that this man is a Somali.
