WASHINGTON: A "soldier" of Daesh carried out the car and knife attack on an Ohio campus that left 11 people wounded, a militant-linked news agency said Tuesday.
"The executor of the attack in the American state of Ohio is a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried out the operation in response to calls to target citizens of international coalition countries," the Amaq agency quoted an insider source as saying, according to a translation by the SITE monitoring group.
