Islamist attack?

Hello,

There seems to be very little to no evidence that the perpetrator of this van overrun was actually an islamist, a member of ISIS, or even acted in reaction to an ISIS video message. Authorities have denied it, and while some news articles have wondered if there can be such a link, others challenge it. I therefore think that the islamist character of this incident is not defining enough for this article to be classified among islamist terrorism categories, as that would imply that this characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define^[1] the subject as having. I'll therefore remove these categories. I'm not opposed though as having these mentions of press articles wondering about the eventual influence of the ISIS video talked about e.g. in the Motivations section, however these are neither reliable nor common or consistent.
