Large numbers of police officers are currently in use near the Ar’Rahman Mosque in Biel.
A resident on Seelandweg, directly in front of the mosque, says: “We heard a shot!” As a result, the police left and several cars arrived.
Dominik Jäggi, a spokesman for the Bern cantonal police, confirmed to BLICK: “We were notified of a shooting.” Then you are out. The operation is still in progress.
“Police officers in full gear”
“At least 20 police cars are on site, including a van. The officers are heavily armed and in full swing, ”reports a BLICK reader reporter who is currently in the district. An ambulance is also on site.
Another local resident says he saw about 15 policemen running through the mosque. However, this has been closed for a few weeks, due to the corona virus. «I wanted to go back to my shopping house around 7pm. The police asked me why I was going to run around here.
He also reports that he was shot. Passers-by fled in panic.
Drone in action
The area was extensively cordoned off. A drone scanned the area. The cantonal police in Bern confirmed to BLICK that they were deployed.
The Ar’Rahman Mosque has caused a stir in recent years. The reason was the Biel Imam Abu Ramadan’s hateful sermons. In it he rushed openly against people of different beliefs and non-believers.
Do I hate the preacher and the social welfare fraudster?
Bernese judiciary introduced in March 2018 Procedures on alleged racial discrimination. In addition, investigations are ongoing against the imam for alleged welfare fraud.
Since February this year, Abu Ramadan has not been allowed to preach at the Ar’Rahman Mosque.
It is still unclear exactly where the shot should have been fired. According to the resident, it happened in an annex building of the mosque. (hah)
