Irish police investigating a series of attacks that left one man dead and two injured say they have found no ties to extremism.
Police said Thursday that they have found "no established link to indicate that this tragedy is terrorist-related."
An 18-year-old Egyptian man is being questioned as a suspect. He was arrested Wednesday after one man was stabbed to death and two others were injured in the town of Dundalk, just south of the border with Northern Ireland.

Everyone can do further research but I found this:
Asylum-seeking teen refused UK entry 'stabbed man to death' in Ireland
Niall O'Connor
An asylum-seeking teenager has been accused of stabbing a man to death and injuring two others with an iron bar just days after arriving in Ireland.
The 18-year-old from Egypt was tackled to the ground by an unarmed officer after allegedly knifing 34-year-old factory worker Yosuke Sasaki.
Mr Sasaki, from Japan, was stabbed in the back as he walked to work with headphones on - unaware of his attacker.

So, I assume this guy was probably a Muslim though, 10% more or less of Egypt's population is Christian.
