The suspect of an attack on a mosque, in …

The alleged gunman, accused of attempting a terrorist attack in a mosque in Norway, appeared in court with black eyes. It is also suspected that 21-year-old Philip Manshaus killed his 17-year-old half-sister before attacking the Islamic center Al-Noor in the suburbs of Oslo Baerum.

Apparently, Manshaus received the shots of fervent Mohamed Rafiq, who managed to remove his weapon when he started shooting. Manshaus smiled during the hearing, but did not speak in court, but his lawyer, Unni Fries, told reporters that "he will use his right not to give explanations for the time being". After the attack last Saturday, the police announced that Mr. Manshaus was planning to kill and information seemed to indicate that he had entered the building with at least two rifles and that he was wearing a uniform of l & # 39; army. Later, when the officers searched his home, they found the body of his half-sister, suspected of having murdered before.

The suspect's lawyer declined to comment on Norwegian media speculation that Manshaus was allegedly inspired by the terrorist attack on the New Zealand mosque where an armed man killed 51 people in March. Prime Minister Erna Solberg called the attack attempt "a direct attack on Norwegian Muslims".
