(AFP) A Vienna mosque ordered shut after last year’s jihadist attack that left four people dead can reopen, a Moslem community official said Monday.
The Tewhid mosque was one of two closed down after authorities found gunman Kujtim Fejzulai, who killed four people in central Vienna in November, frequented them.
Austria’s main Moslem body, the Islamic Religious Community of Austria (IGGOe), has agreed to let the mosque reopen after an internal probe, the group’s spokeswoman Valerie Mussa told AFP.
Police said last month they had to withdraw the closure order after they found Fejzulai just visited the place together with others who held radical beliefs, but none of them were involved with the association running the mosque.
