Arrest of suspect-Daily Mail
A 42-year-old Iranian immigrant, identified as Zaniar Matapour, is charged with two counts of murder after opening fire at a gay bar in Oslo, Norway Saturday night during gay pride celebrations. Norwegian police are calling this an act of Islamic terror. Matapour reportedly immigrated to Norway with his family when he was 12 and was known to police.
Jihad Watch, citing the Norwegian news outlet, Dagbladet, reports that the attacker was screaming, "Allahu Akhbar" during the attack.
*Update: The Swedish news outlet, Aftonbladet, posted a video of the shooting and the takedown of the shooter (viewer warning). We are working on a translation of the Swedish subtitles. (H/T Vlad Tepes)
