Police investigate potential Islamist terror link to stabbing in Belfast

Police in Northern Ireland are investigating a potential Islamist terrorist link to a stabbing in Belfast earlier this month.

Religious ideology is one of a number of potential motives being investigated, the PA news agency understands.

If it is confirmed, it would be Northern Ireland’s first Islamist terrorist incident.

Detectives are also probing whether a mental health episode or hate were motivating factors.

Islam is violence.
