US ambassador: Victims in Amsterdam stabbing are Americans

None

Two people wounded in a knife attack at the Dutch capital's busy main railway station on Friday are both American citizens who were visiting the Netherlands, the US ambassador said Saturday as police investigated possible motives, including the possibility it was an extremist act.

 

Police shot and wounded a 19-year-old Afghan man immediately after the attack and are questioning him as a suspect.

 

A dramatic photo captured by a passerby shows two police officers pointing their pistols at a man wearing jeans and sneakers lying on the ground inside a tunnel in the station.
