Christian terrorist stabs two dead at a school in Sweden


Sweden has long been a country that shunned bigotry, but not any more. Ugly fascist forces are emerging with their deadly venoms.


A masked Swedish terrorist of Christian faith killed a teacher and a boy and wounded two others in a Swedish school on Thursday, stabbing them as he walked from classroom to classroom before being fatally wounded by police marksmen, officers said. The Kronan school where the violence took place is in Trollhattan, an industrial town of about 50,000 inhabitants in western Sweden that has a large proportion of immigrants and has been plagued by high unemployment after the demise of car company Saab which was headquartered there.
Attacks in schools are rare in Sweden, with the last similar attack taking place near Gothenburg in 1961.
"This is a black day for Sweden," Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said in a statement.


Police arrived minutes after the attack, following trails of blood smeared across the school corridors to find the assailant. They shot the suspect, in his early 20s, who died later of his injuries at a hospital. He had no criminal record.

The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t

George Soros at the Davos Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues,   I thought you would be interested in reading George's remarks he delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this evening.   Best regards, Michael Vachon   George Soros Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland January 25, 2018 The current moment in history Good evening. It has become something of an annual Davos tradition for me to give an overview of the current state of the world. I was planning half an hour for my remarks and half an hour for questions, but my speech has turned out to be closer to an hour. I attribute this to the severity of the problems confronting us. After I’ve finished, I’ll open it up for your comments and questions. So prepare yourselves. *** I find the current moment in history rather painful. Open societies are in crisis, and various forms of dictatorships and mafia states, exemplified by Putin’s Russia, are on the rise. In the United States, President Trump would
