SANDVIKA, Norway - An attack by a gunman at a Norwegian mosque on Saturday will be investigated as a possible act of terrorism, police said on Sunday.
Mohammad Rafiq, a 65-year-old retired Pakistani Air Force officer, was the first of the three to approach the attacker, the mosque said. "He started to fire towards the two other men," Rafiq said, adding that he had then grabbed the attacker, holding him down and wrestling the weapons off the attacker.
The mosque had implemented extra security measures this year after the massacre of more than 50 people at two New Zealand mosques by a suspected right-wing extremist.
