DENMARK – AT 9:14 A.M. ET:  More is coming out about the perpetrator of Europe's latest terror attacks.  Some news organizations are being very straightforward.  Others are choking on the term "Islamist," even pretending that we aren't really sure of the motivation of the attacker.  From London's Telegraph: 

Two men were charged on Monday as accomplices of the suspected Islamist terrorist who shot dead two people in a double attack in Copenhagen at the weekend.

The men, described as “young”, appeared in court in a closed hearing and have not been named.
They denied helping the 22-year-old suspect, Omar el-Hussein, obtain guns and hiding him for several hours after the first attack on a free speech debate at a cafe, where he killed a filmmaker.
"The two men are charged with helping through advice and deeds the perpetrator in relation to the shootings at Krudttonden and in Krystalgade," the police said in a statement, referring to the locations of the two attacks.

El-Hussein, of Palestinian descent but born and brought up in Denmark, died in a shootout with police early on Sunday as he returned home after the second attack on a girl’s Bat Mitzvah celebrations at a synagogue. He pretended to be a drunken member of the party to get past a police cordon but was stopped by a Jewish economist acting as a volunteer security guard, whom he shot dead before fleeing on foot.

Police traced his home address from CCTV footage that showed him abandoning his stolen getaway car after the cafe attack and boarding a taxi.

Police believe El-Hussein was radicalised in prison. He was released about two weeks ago after serving a two-year sentence for aggravated assault. He was convicted of stabbing a man at a railway station in 2013, injuring him in the leg and buttock.

El-Hussein, who had a criminal record going back to his teens for gang-related offences including possession of firearms, was “on the intelligence radar” as a potential threat, Denmark’s spy chief Jens Madsen said.

COMMENT:  There will be other attacks.  They are inevitable.  But also inevitable is the reaction of the political left, as represented by Barack Obama, to the effect that these individuals do not reflect larger movements, but are lone attackers distorting a religion. 

Something will happen here.  As it is said, we have to be lucky every time.  The terrorists only have to be lucky once.
