The attacker, a 19-year-old Afghan who has German residency, visited Amsterdam to carry out an act of violence, as he believed that God and the Koran were insulted multiple times.
According to Dutch prosecutors, the victims of the stabbing attack were randomly chosen by the man and his intention to assault was driven by perceived insults to the Muslin religion in the Netherlands.
Earlier, the Amsterdam authorities announced that the stabbing attack carried out by an Afghan citizen had a terrorist motive.
