Munich shooting: Four hurt at suburban railway station - BBC News
Internal obviously but strikes terror to all those involved and those reading it doesn't it?
And the article cleary indicates that the man in question was apprently doing his violence for personal reasons...so that answers your first questionDictionary completely disagrees with you as well

Jo Cox's murder hasn't really been dubbed as terrorism that much but that was!
And besides, it HAS already been declared as a 'potential terrorist attack.'
Apparently the van driver involved when apprehended was shouting 'kill me, kill me,' so maybe some mental health problem involved too.
Agree, right wing terror is as much a threat.Anyone who kills others has mental health issues. And he was shouting "kill all Muslims" according to reports.
Right wing terror is as much of a threat as Islamic terror. We need to start cracking down on hate preachers like Farage and Hopkins. Take their British citizenship from them. All right wingers should be on a watch list just in case. I'm sure there are "moderate" right wingers but they really need to be policing their own community. Enough is enough.

I was watching at 4 am and there was no mention then of 'kill all Muslims.'
Very conflicting reports were coming out. First it was there were 3 men with a van, now it seemingly was just one and there were also reports of another white man in the street threatening with a pole.
Confusion reigns, which is of course to be expected.

Because it suits the story?Why is this killer right wing?
Only just seen this, so it's a white fella who has done it as revenge for the other terror attacks by carrying out a terror attack?
He's the same as the Britain first guy, a terrorist if so.

Cycle of tit for tat violence.
Well thanks to this prick, the next one will be a whopper
What better way to display outrage at killing and harming innocent by people than to do exactly the same.
It's not as if he has found some extremists and killed them.
Can't say I'm shocked at hearing about this attack. It was on the cards that a revenge incident would happen.. We're living in dangerous times and anything can happen at any time and anywhere. Unfortunately there's people who want a civil war either against Muslims or anything they see as an enemy.
there is no playing race stuff
it just seems apparent that less people care when its solely muslim victims. no one is talking about it at work etc, very different to past ones. hey maybe its my workplace. others can say if they think its no different. would love to hear opinions
if people disagree thats fine, just my observations thats all.
i never mentioned terrorism label at all.
There is covcity4life, all morning.not much wall to wall media coverage compared to other terror attacks. heck a silver printer cartridge thread is above this one as i type this.
sad world we live in.
The London one was hardly discussed at my place to be fair immune to it to a degree other people as well who condone it in a way at my place too.
Maybe scale too? In terms of drama and casualties. I reckon if it would have been Manchester magnitude would be more talk
After that fire last week I think we are becoming more immune to this country falling in line with the rest of a pretty awful world
