TEHRAN, September 01 - Dutch police were investigating Saturday a suspected terror attack at Amsterdam's Central Station, in which two people were stabbed before the knifeman was shot by police.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The assailant was identified as an 19-year-old Afghan man with a German residency permit.
"We are seriously taking into account that there was a terrorist motive," Amsterdam police spokesman Frans Zuiderhoek told AFP.
Earlier witnesses described scenes of panic as gunshots rang out and thousands of commuters and tourists were evacuated from the rail terminus shortly after midday.
"A man in the west side tunnel of Amsterdam Central Station stabbed two other people and directly after that he was shot by the police," another police spokesman Rob van der Veen said, adding terrorism was not being ruled out by investigators.
"The two people are very badly injured, and they were brought to the hospital," he said.
