Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength!
This may not have been a jihad attack. Although the Islamic State and other jihad groups have called on Muslims in the West to murder random civilians, this particular killing could have been over some personal dispute between the killer and the victim. In any case, it is an indication of how marvelously diverse Norway, and much of Europe, has become.
“Unaccompanied child refugee murdered Coop employee with knife,” translated from “Ensamkommande knivmördade Coop-anställd,” Fria Tider, July 16, 2018 (thanks to Denny):
A so-called unaccompanied child refugee from Afghanistan has been arrested for a brutal assassination in Vadsø in Norway last Saturday, reports Norwegian TV2. The detainee has a temporary residence permit and came to Norway in 2015.
It was just after 10PM on Saturday night that the Finnmark police were alerted to a stabbing at the Coop Extra store in Vadsø in northeastern Norway.
At the site, 18-year-old Håvard Pedersen was found stabbed to death.
Although there was a doctor on the scene, the victim’s life was not saved.
The victim worked in the store where he was found.
A so-called 17-year-old has now been arrested for the killing. According to the police, he is an immigrant with a temporary residence permit. Unlike in Sweden, Norwegian media has been quick to announce the suspect’s ethnic background.
The detainee came to Norway as a minor asylum seeker in 2015 and was born in Afghanistan….
The Afghans was arrested after a police helicopter saw him running from the Coop store. However, he was not arrested until nearly four hours later when he tried to flee farther by jumping into the water from a bridge. A civilian in a boat then helped the police take him.
“The motive of the murderer is not known, so now we need to find out why it happened,” said the police according to TV2.
The suspect was already known to the police for harassing people, according to the Norwegian newspaper.
