And the hits just keep on coming. With the police still trying to piece together the story behind Friday’s Munich attack, moments ago Bild reported that a man with a machete murdered a woman, and injured two others in the downtown area of the southern German town of Reutlingen. The attacker – who appears to have been inspired by last Monday’s axe-wielding slasher who pledged allegiance to ISIS in a YouTube testimony – has been arrested by the police.
