The alleged perpetrator of an archery attack on Wednesday in southeast Norway is believed to be a 37-year-old Dane who converted to Islam and suspected of radicalization, Norwegian police said.
Norwegian police on Thursday presented the alleged perpetrator of an archery attack that left five dead the day before in Kongsberg, south-eastern Norway, as a 37-year-old Dane who converted to Islam with whom they had been in contact in the past for "fears of radicalization".
"There have been fears related to radicalization previously," Norwegian police official Ole Bredrup Saeverud said at a press briefing.
These fears, which have given rise to follow-up, date back to 2020 and before, he said.
