Munich Sketch.

Yesterday (22/7/16) a gunman attacked passers-by at a shopping mall in Munich, Germany. He killed 9 people and injured 27 before turning the gun on himself.

The attacker who has not yet been formally named was an 18 year old German/Iranian dual national. He was identified because he had been entered into the Interpol database.

The German authorities are yet to confirm why they were so worried about him that they entered him into the Interpol database. However Interpol rarely investigate instances of petty theft.

Due to a busy week I have not yet addressed the previous Islamist terror attack in Germany this week. However these are the main points of yesterday's attack;

The attack began at a McDonalds restaurant. This is obviously a very large symbol of American globalisation and a target that both Al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have frequently called on their supporters to attack. McDonalds are also a key sponsor of the Olympics.

This particular McDonalds was located in a shopping mall built on the site of the 1972 Munich Olympics. Nobody familiar with the history of modern terrorism needs the significance of the 1972 Munich Olympics explained to them.

The attack took place hours before the so-called "Anniversary Games" were held in London, UK. This annual event is part of the UK's inability to get over the fact that it hosted the 2012 London Olympics.

The attack took place two weeks to the day before the start of the 2016 Rio Olympics to be held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil.

So as with the recent Orlando terror attack this terror attack was very clearly intended as a threat against the Olympics.

However the only mystery is why ISIL would be threatening the Olympics.

After all with the Russians being banned while a team celebrating ethnic cleansing being allowed to compete the 2016 Olympics is going to be a month long celebration of ISIL. South Africa are even sending a competitor named; "Isis" is the hope she'll be given a free pass to the top of the medals table.

It must be said that the whole thing struck me as ISIL reaching that difficult teenage phase where they try and rebel against their parents.

The attack also took place in Bavaria.

This is effectively the end of the Balkan migrant route. As a result community tensions are extremely high.  Therefore this was clearly an attempt to worsen those tension in a similar way that last Thursday's (14/7/16) attack in Nice, France was intended to.

During the course of the attack the Muslim immigrant gunman made a series of bizarre anti-Muslim and anti-immigrants statements.

Coming on the fifth anniversary of Anders Brevik's attack in Norway this seemed to be a deliberate attempt to have the attacks portrayed to a Muslim audience as an anti-Muslim neo-Nazi terror attack.

However with the gunman then choosing to take his own life thus revealing his identity I think it's fair to assume we're not dealing with a brain surgeon.
