The FBI has taken over the investigation of the Minnesota mall stabbing attacks over the weekend.
St. Cloud police will assist the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force after Dahir Adan stabbed at least 10 people before being shot by former Albany Police Chief Jason Falconer, the St. Cloud Times reports.
So far, investigators have found no connection between Adan and terrorist groups.
The FBI said Sunday the stabbings were a “potential act of terrorism.”
“One of the things we’re looking at with respect to these attacks is what motivated this young man to do what he did,” FBI spokesman Kyle Loven said. “And that obviously takes some time. It takes an extraordinary amount of legwork. And it’s something that our JTTF is well suited to do.”
Witnesses said Adan, 20, made references to Allah during the attack and even asked some victims if they were Muslims before stabbing them.
