| Gunman kills two in German mosque |
| 2004-01-26 |
| A Turkish man has been arrested after shooting two people dead in a mosque, according to German police. The attack happened shortly after morning prayers in the western town of Gelsenkirchen on Monday. A police spokesman said the 59-year-old man shot the two men in the head before fleeing. The victims, aged 48 and 58, were both of Turkish origin. The suspect, who was well-known at the mosque, was later arrested at his home. The motive for the attack is not clear. Sounds like a personal dispute. |

| #5 It usually suffices to kill just the woman in order to restore honor to all the men. |

| #4 So why didn't he just shoot the wife? Is that part of the program? |

| #1 I was right: The man, whose name was not released, told police he killed the victims because they insulted him and his wife. Can't have that, can we? |
