Three killed in Norway bus hijacking
Two men and a woman have been killed in Western Norway after a man wielding a knife hijacked the express bus they were travelling on.
The man in his 30s, from South Sudan, was arrested at just before 7pm Norwegian time. He was flown to hospital in Bergen where he was being treated for injuries sustained during the hijack.
Trine Erdal, a spokesperson for Norwegian police said that she could not yet give details on the hijacker's state of mind or his likely motive [or his IQ].
Police said that there were only three people on the bus at the time of the attack – the 50-year old driver, a Swedish citizen also in his 50s and a 19 year old Norwegian girl – and that the hijacker killed all of them. . . .
The attack marks the second time the express bus between the towns of Aardal and Tyin has been hijacked. In 2003, a mentally disturbed 26-year-old Ethiopian man seized the bus and stabbed the driver to death. . . .
