On Tuesday, the district court heard the dramatic 20-minute conversation between police and two of the mosque’s four attackers.
OSLO / SANDVIKA (Nettavisen): “I am calling from Bærum, the Skui mosque. A person comes with the gun and shoots,” the man tells the police by phone. It’s 4:07 pm on Saturday, August 10, 2019, and seven minutes before Philip Manshaus entered the Al-Noor Islamic Center Mosque at Ringeriksveien in Skui. With a military helmet on his head equipped with a GoPro camera and armed with a hunting rifle and a double-barreled shotgun, he has attacked. The goal, we later know, is to kill as many Muslims as possible.
“Have you seen the gun?” asks the woman who answers the police. “Yes, yes,” the man almost called again. “I will hand you over to an operator,” says the woman.
After a short break, the caller calls the operator on the police emergency phone. Repeat who he is, where he is calling and what it is about. “Oh,” answers the police. The caller is then asked how long it has been since this happened, if “you are in control of it” and the police ask for a description of the perpetrator.
I spent 20 minutes at the mosque
This is how a 20-minute audio file plays, played in Asker and Bærum District Court on Tuesday. The recording is the emergency call the police received that led them to send a message to the connection after five minutes and gave the mission “priority 1”. 20 minutes after the call, the police were outside the mosque with two patrols. Two minutes after the police arrived, at 4:29 pm, Philip Manshaus was arrested.
Later that day, at 8:34 pm, her stepsister, Johanne Ihle-Hansen, 17, was found dead in her home in Eiksmarka. Police face not only an attack on the mosque, but also a murder that occurred before the attack on the mosque.
The evaluation committee, which will review police and PST handling of the attack on al-Noor mosque, was postponed until after the trial and will deliver its report by June 29.

“Are you in control of the man?”
Police have already explained that the language difficulties and the fact that the emergency call came from a phone without a SIM card helped it take time to clarify the correct address.
In the recording that was played in court on Tuesday, it was perfectly possible to understand what was being said, even though the first person who called spoke somewhat broken and upset. The place name “Skui” is pronounced multiple times, along with information that it is a mosque. The caller says that the author is seen with “two pistols” and tells them that he is inside the mosque. During this dialogue, the police ask, among other things, if he shot someone or just “showed him the gun.” “Do you have control over the man and the two weapons?” is one of the questions the caller receives.

“No, we have no control”
After a time, the caller hands the phone over to Irfan Mushtaq, who at the time is a member of the mosque’s board and finance officer, and has now arrived. Mushtaq speaks impeccable Norwegian and is clear and clear in his communication. He introduces himself with his full name, tells him who he is and where he is. “No, we have no control over the man,” says Mushtaq, calling for a police patrol at the scene. The police do not immediately respond to that request, but request more information, if there are more people inside the building and a description of the man who entered. “Young Norwegian,” Mushtaq replies after asking the others. “A European man, a white man, is in the mosque attacking,” continues Mushtaq.

“We are on the way,” the police officer finally confirms. He asks Mushtaq not to shut up and says they have to keep talking until the police are there. “We need someone here now,” says Mushtaq. While waiting, the policeman asks several questions to better understand the situation.
Mushtaq is asked to describe what type of clothing the man is wearing. At this point, linguistic confusion arises for a moment. Mushtaq asks the others about the clothes. In the audio file, we hear that the first caller answers a bit, before Mushtaq plays what he perceives as the answer, including the “black hat”.

“He’s shooting!”
For the moment, Mushtaq wants to convey that the situation is unclear. You heard something. “It is firing, and there is activity here now,” he says. To the police follow-up question, he responds like this: “It sounds like a gunshot. I hear a knock as I speak to you. Mushtaq also talks about the alien car parked outside the mosque. It correctly describes it as a white Nissan Leaf and gives it the police registration number.

The police also ask for a description of the two weapons. He wants to know the color of the weapons and what the others saw the man doing with the weapons. Mushtaq looks stressed out from the shooting when he asks the police, “How far away is that patrol now?” “It’s going to take some time. You just have to stay there, we have to talk,” is the answer.
“Do you have anyone with you who can see behind the building?”
While waiting, the police continue to ask questions. Mushtaq goes on to describe the area and says that there is a forest behind the building and that it cannot be excluded that there is a possible escape route for the perpetrator. “I just hope he hasn’t quit,” says Mushtaq. “Is Victor on the way?”, We heard the police ask someone else. He then asks Mushtaq if anyone can see behind the building. “Do you have someone with you who can look behind the building, carefully?” the question sounds. Mushtaq replies that he must do it himself. The police ask if there are no others there, but Mushtaq is determined that he will not send anyone else. Then he describes how he walks into the building and first sees the main entrance where it looks dark and he doesn’t see any movement.
The policeman asks how it looks on the back, and Mushtaq says that he then has to go check. “Just make sure you don’t get too close to something,” says the cop. Mushtaq then moves to the side of the mosque and climbs into the forest behind the building. He says he is now completely calm. He moves to the mosque building from the back and says he is eight meters from the building and tries to look inside.
Seeing the man lying on the floor
Suddenly, Mushtaq says that he sees someone lying inside the mosque and sees blood. He goes on to say that he sees “cartridges” and tries to count them. He gives an estimate of how many there are. The police ask where the blood comes from and where it is seen. Mushtaq says he sees spots here and there. Get a new message from the police to be careful. Then we hear Mushtaq say he sees a man lying down. Soon after, he says that it is the attacker who lies on the ground. He recognizes the member of the mosque sitting on top of him. Briefly describe the situation to the police and say you have to enter.
“Yes, then you can come in and help him,” says the police. There will be a pause in the dialogue. We hear that there is activity. “Do you also have control over him?” the police ask. “He is a person that we have,” Mushtaq replies. He tells about the shot he sees and that he does not dare to free the person. “Are you awake and breathing?” the police ask. Mushtaq confirms this. Then the conversation breaks down.
You may have heard nail gun
Manshaus fired a side door into the mosque with his rifle, and two shotgun blasts were also fired into the locker room with the three who beat him, including Muhammad Rafiq (66) and Javed Iqbal (77). No one was beaten. The police officer who arrested Manshaus told the court on Monday that there may be sounds from a nail gun that created uncertainty about whether there were still gunshots ongoing when police arrived and whether there were multiple perpetrators. The police officer explained that there were such noises when the two offended at the mosque were removed.
Mushtaq also explained that some of the sounds he heard while moving outside the mosque may come from a nail gun. Artisans were working in apartments in the mosque when the attack occurred. One of them had called and notified Mushtaq.
I have to see photos of clothes, weapons and the murder scene.
A review of the technical and tactical investigation of the case was conducted at the Asker and Bærum District Court on Tuesday. In addition to listening to the audio file with the emergency call, the court saw photos of the clothing and equipment that Philip Manshaus and Muhammad Rafiq were wearing, which dominated the 22-year-old. All the clothes were bloody. A Kripos expert also introduced the three weapons and ammunition he had with him.
In the Manshaus car there was a mobile phone and a PC. Before attacking, he had unsuccessfully attempted to connect the GoPro camera to the two devices. A helmet companion was scheduled to broadcast the attack directly online, just as Brenton Tarrant did when he attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 2019.
– No signs of struggle
The court saw photos of the car Manshaus was driving, both from surveillance cameras that had captured him on the way to the mosque and of the objection while dealing with the arrest. The court also saw photos of the house where Johanne Ihle-Hansen was found shot and killed and photos of the deceased when they found her in the bedroom. “There are no signs of any fight,” summarized the police officer who presented this evidence.
Father and stepmother explain
On Wednesday, Philip Manshaus’ father and stepmother will appear in court. They do not do this via video streaming, but in the courtroom, Budstikka writes.
So far, all witnesses have been explained from another courtroom via video broadcast, but at their own discretion, they will both explain face to face with the 22-year-old defendant.
The mother of the murdered Johanne Zhangjia Ihle-Hansen will be explained first, then the father of Manshaus.

Song lyrics in the back pocket
Among the most curious findings presented in court Tuesday were the letters lying in the back pocket of the pants Manshaus used. The court saw notes and the text of the hymn “I advise everyone in the days of youth” and the popular melody “My name is Håvard Hedde”.
Philip Manshaus has been charged with the murder of half-sister Johanne Zhangjia Ihle-Hansen and with terrorist acts against the Al-Noor Mosque on Skui in Bærum. According to the police, the murder occurred between 2:35 and 2:57.
