The coverage of the train terror attack in Switzerland is very strange.
How so?
It was announced that there was no terror link before they had entered the assailant’s home. From the beginning they were printing statements without sources saying it was a crime of passion. Then the announcement that the person was not an immigrant, was a Swiss citizen, and had a typical Swiss name. But they would not release his name or a photo from his government identification. Also, these days I wonder what a typical Swiss name would be, and if the individual had converted to Islam and taken an Arabic name that would take time to investigate. I do not know how to express it better, but it seemed that an approach had been taken to do everything possible to disassociate the crime from terrorism before a proper police investigation could be completed.
