Attackers storm Norway asylum center, hurting 20 * By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
* http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-Norway-Asylum-Attack.html Published: July 25, 2008 Filed at 11:34 a.m. ET OSLO, Norway (AP) -- A group of men wielding knives, machetes and iron bars stormed into a center for asylum-seekers in a nighttime attack that left more than 20 people hurt, police said Friday. Five Chechen immigrants were arrested after the violence late Thursday, which police said may have been sparked by tension between different ethnic groups at the facility. Police spokesman Per Tore Fremstad said many of the injured were Kurds, but added it was not yet clear whether the attack had targeted Kurds specifically. Center director Ole Morten said the men arrested after the attack were not residents of the center. Between 40 and 50 men broke into the Nordbybraaten center, about 40 miles (60 kilometers) south of Oslo, and started attacking its residents, Lyng said. Police said as many as 23 people were injured. ''We've got everything from shock to broken legs, crushed cheek bones, arm and head injuries, but nothing life-threatening,'' Fremstad said. Investigators said it was too early to speculate on a motive, but added that there had been a ''conflict between ethnic groups'' at the asylum center on Wednesday. ''That may have triggered reactions that could have led to what happened last night,'' police said in a statement, adding more investigation was needed. The facility houses some 200 people from Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, Somalia and Eritrea. It was the second attack in a week at an asylum center in Norway. On July 18, police said a 16-year-old Somali boy was seriously wounded after several shots were fired at an accommodation center for asylum-seekers in Asker, outside Oslo. No suspects have been arrested in the shooting. Fremstad it was unlikely that the cases were related.
