A Finnish court has sentenced the manicen, Abderrahman Bowanan, to life in prison last year after he killed two women in a knife attack and injured eight others in what has been described as the first Islamist attack on the Nordic state, broadcast Reuters
Bowanan, then 22 years old, has launched a knife attack at a market square in the town of Turku in August last year.
Police have stopped the attacks by wounding Bowana on foot.
“Bounan has been aiming to link his crimes to terrorist acts of Islamic State. The crimes have been carried out almost the same way as the attacks committed in Europe in recent years”, the court said as it declared the verdict.
The militant group, the Islamic State, has not claimed responsibility for the attack on Turku.
Bowanan has arrived in Finland in 2016 with false identity. He has begun radicalising in 2017, after being denied asylum demand.
The prison sentence of life in Finland means staying in prison for at least 12 years.
