The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
“So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
Afghan tried to kill at least ten people in Lund – heard voices and wanted to become a martyr,” translated from “Afghan försökte köra ihjäl minst tio personer i Lund – hörde röster och ville bli martyr,” NyheterIdag, April 5, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
“LUND On New Year’s Day, the Afghans traveled around Lund in a stolen car and tried to drive into at least ten people on pedestrian crossings and sidewalks, but everyone escaped him, not least thanks to a taxi driver who went after him and chased him until he was caught. Now he is being prosecuted for ten cases of attempted murder. “I know, I get good feelings of becoming a martyr to God,” he says himself.
An elderly man from Afghanistan had refueled the car in Malmö, but on his way out of the gas station, a younger Afghan stood in the way and kicked the car when it stopped. The driver got out of the car and asked what he was doing, but then the younger man began to wave his arms against him.
“He shouted all the time I’m gonna beat you, I’ll kill you, you fucking old man. All this he said in Persian,” said the car owner in questioning.
As the driver backed off, the younger man jumped into the car, where the car keys remained in the lock, and drove from there. A couple of hours later – it is unclear exactly what he did in between – he came to Lund, where for half an hour he drove around at leisurely speed and looked for victims to run over and kill.
His goal was both cyclists and pedestrians, and on a couple of occasions he slowed down and stopped to target people across the street, and then run down and try to run them over. According to one witness, at one point he aimed at a group of young people, 30–40 in number, but at that point the edge to the pavement was too high, so he was not able to get over it. On several other occasions, he just drove up on sidewalks to target pedestrians who in some cases had to run away.
