An 18-year-old man has been arrested for stabbing 5 people in a mosque garden in Turkiye. The attacker, who has been named as Arda K by Turkish authorities, was said to be wearing a Nazi-themed t-shirt, body armour and carrying a hunting knife as he started slashing people outside the mosque. The knifeman posted a short manifesto valorising far-right terrorists like Anders Breivik, who killed 70 left-wing youths in a mass shooting in Norway in 2011, and the Christchurch mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant, who killed 51 Muslims in New Zealand in 2019. Arda K was eventually tackled and arrested, while one of the victims remains in a critical condition.
