The U.S. State Department is “aware” of reports that the terrorist who stabbed people in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, including a U.S. tourist, is a Moroccan man with a U.S. green card.

“We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and to the families of all those affected,” a spokesperson for the department told JNS. “We have no further comment.”
