My heart is with my community today after this shocking attack at the
#Ismaili
Centre in Lisbon. No one should have to fear for their security in a peaceful place of worship. Praying that the Jamat will soon regain its sense of safety. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
At around 11.30 am today, a man armed with a knife entered the premises of the Ismaili Centre in Lisbon and attacked three people, killing two and injuring the third. The police and security services responded, and the attacker was taken into custody.
