Heidelberg car attack injures three per BBC News

Here we go again?

'Three people have been injured in the German city of Heidelberg after a man drove a car into a pedestrian area.

The attacker, who was believed to have been armed with a knife, was shot and injured by police in a brief standoff after fleeing the scene on foot.

His motives are unclear, but terrorism is not suspected and he is thought to have acted alone, police say.

In December an attacker drove a lorry into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and injuring more than 50.

Police were unable to confirm local media reports that the Heidelberg attacker was mentally disturbed.'

The two lines that made my jaw drop were these:

'His motives are unclear, but terrorism is not suspected and he is thought to have acted alone, police say.

In December an attacker drove a lorry into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and injuring more than 50.'

Terrorism is not suspected by whom? I suspect it might be terrorism. Nicely done saying terrorism not suspected in this instance and then not mentioning that terrorism was a factor in the Berlin attack.

The BBC disgust me yet again.
