Islamic State media claims 'soldier' stabbed 8 at Minnesota mall

An Islamic State news agency on Sunday said a man dressed as a security guard who talked about Allah as he stabbed eight people at a St. Cloud, Minn., shopping mall was a "Soldier" for the extremist group. The claim was made by ISIL news agency, Rasd, late Sunday morning. It was not immediately clear if the Islamic State planned the attack or knew about it beforehand. An off-duty police officer shot and killed the attacker, who was not identified. Ref. USAToday.
