(Lehtikuva/Reuters)Authorities in Finland said Saturday they were investigating a fatal stabbing attack in a southwestern city as terrorism. Two people were killed and eight others wounded Friday when an 18-year-old Moroccan man went on a stabbing rampage, police said. Police in Finland initially said they did not believe the stabbing was related to terrorism. However, Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation took control of the case and was investigating with the assistance of Finnish security services. Security services said it was the first suspected terrorist attack in Finland, and that the overall risk level remained relatively low.
