U.S. — With the nation reeling from an outbreak of violent incidents in the wake of the U.S. military strikes against Iran, the media clarified that there was no known motive yet in the attack on a Jewish Synagogue by a radical Muslim.

Though an outspoken Islamic extremist who originated from the Middle East and had expressed support for ISIS and loaded his car with explosives and rammed it directly into a synagogue and daycare facility, journalists explained that there simply wasn’t any way to know at this point why he committed such an act.

“We may never know,” said one reporter. “These acts of violence are often so random and take place without any discernible motive behind them, so the reason why this Muslim man seemed to intentionally target a place where Jewish people congregate. It is, by all accounts, just a completely random tragedy.”

Other journalists speculated that the incident may have resulted from something completely unrelated to the fact that the attacker was a radical Muslim and the victims were Jewish people. “It’s difficult to settle on any one correlation,” another reporter said. “We’ll do our best to connect the dots, but quite frankly, this one is likely to remain a mystery.”

At publishing time, the media was said to be unsure how the attacker shouting “Allah Akbar!” and “Death to Jews!” in the moments just before the attack may have factored into his motive.
