Suspect Dead, Several Injured at Minnesota Mall
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, an off-duty police officer shot dead a suspected attacker who stabbed eight people inside a Minnesota mall. None of the victims died.

The terrorist group stated that the attacker had responded on Daesh call to target civilians living in countries currently involved in the anti-Daesh military campaign in Syria and Iraq, media reports said.

Daesh, which is an extremist jihadist group outlawed in the United States and Russia, took over large swathes of Syria and Iraq amid the ongoing Syrian civil war. The US-led coalition started its anti-Daesh campaign in 2014.

Over the past year, Daesh has claimed responsibility for a number of deadly attacks in the United States and Europe.
