Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Kirill Semenov [REGNUM] Six people, including four Pakistanis and one Indian, were killed and nearly three dozen were injured in a terrorist attack on the Shiite Ali bin Abi Talib mosque in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman. The attack came as Shiites mark Ashura, an annual day of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The terrorist group ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. In particular, the terrorists' information resource Amaq reported on its Telegram channels that the militants "opened fire with machine guns at Shiites" and then clashed with Omani security forces. Three terrorists who carried out the attack and opened fire on the parishioners were eliminated. One police officer was also killed in the shootout. Posted by: badanov 2024-07-19 |
