Police said on Thursday that a suspect believed to be involved in a bow-and-arrow attack that left five people dead is a Danish man who had converted to Islam and had been previously flagged for radicalization.
“There earlier had been worries of the man having been radicalized,” Police chief Ole B. Saeverud said on Thursday, according to The Associated Press. Saeverud did not explain what he meant by radicalized, and he said that authorities are still determining what the motive was behind the attack.
Authorities are also determining whether the attack at several locations in the town of Kongsberg southwest of Oslo was an act of terrorism.
