    Thanks, that puts a whole different perspective on the story. Not.    This is what was quoted in the news item above: "Friday's attack began just before the evening rush hour and lasted only minutes.

    The knifingings in the topic are not terrorism related. Currently in Thailand, looked up the incident  you refer to. yes, being treated as a terror attack, attacker shot dead by police. RIP innocent victim.
