‘Stabber of border policeman was lone wolf’

Jerusalem Police Chief Moshe Edery says an initial investigation of the stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Old City this morning suggests that the assailant, an 18-year-old Palestinian youth from the West Bank, acted alone.

These attacks have been known in recent months as “lone-wolf” attacks, in the sense that the perpetrators act alone and do not belong to any organized terror groups.

Edery says there was no prior warning to the attack, as is typical of such incidents.
