This incident is still more of the poison fruit of Merkel’s reckless, feckless policies regarding mass Muslim migration, which have set Germany on the path to national suicide. This “55-year-old Syrian citizen” arrived in Germany in 2016, and was no doubt welcomed by those who believed that opposition to mass Muslim migration was based solely upon “racism” and “bigotry.” This is how he repays his supporters. But they almost certainly still won’t wake up.
“Horror of Cologne hostage situation revealed: ‘Syrian’ had pledged allegiance to ISIS, doused captive woman with petrol and strapped home-made BOMB to her when police shot him,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, October 16, 2018 (thanks to Lukasz):

During negotiations over the hostage, the man asked for the release of a Tunisian woman and demanded to be allowed to leave the train station unimpeded, Rueschenschmidt told reporters.
The hostage situation ended after 2.5 hours when police officers stormed the pharmacy, seriously injuring the perpetrator.
A police spokesman said the perpetrator’s motives are still not clear, but added that they are investigating if he had extremist connections or beliefs….
