(AFP) Norwegian police have formally accused several foreign nationals over a 1993 attack on the Norwegian publisher of “The Satanic Verses,” thus preventing the statute of limitations from closing the case.
The National Criminal Investigation Service said Tuesday “foreign nationals who are not in Norway” were suspected of “attempted murder” in the attack on William Nygaard.
But the agency did not specify their number, identity or nationality.
William Nygaard was seriously wounded when he was shot three times in the back near his home in Oslo on October 11, 1993.
