An ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) affiliated news agency said today (September 18, 2016) that a man who was killed after stabbing eight people last night inside a Minnesota mall was "a soldier of the Islamic State," according to the Washington Post website.
The attack occurred around 8 p.m. inside the Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, about 70 miles northwest of Minneapolis. The still-unnamed man was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer.
The suspect -- who was wearing a private security uniform -- made at least one reference to Allah during the attack. All of the eight victims of the attack suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and one remains at a hospital.
In a statement today, Amaq News Agency said the suspect "carried out the operation in response to calls to target citizens of countries belonging to the crusader coalition."
