The world was shocked last week by an axe rampage on a German train in Wuerzburg and a truck attack in Nice, France, which Europol said, were similar to attacks carried out by IS and al-Queda. Although IS claimed responsibility for the recent attacks, they don’t seem to have been planned, logistically supported, or executed by IS members. Direct IS involvement cannot be established, Europol said.
