(IraqiNews.com) BAGHDAD – An American woman was killed and five others wounded by a man armed with a knife in London’s Russell Square.

Police said that the suspect is a 19-year-old Norwegian of Somali origin, but they have found no signs of radicalization. He was subdued by police using a Taser stun gun, London police said.

“Early indications suggest that mental health was a factor in this horrific attack,” Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said in a statement.
