At least two imams of Turkish Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet) have been killed after an argument between imams at a town hall ended with an armed assault in eastern Erzincan province of Turkey.
According to reports in Turkish media on Friday, the local administration of the Erzincan province’s Tercan district convened for an ordinary monthly meeting. An employee of the mufti’s office, identified only as Fatih A., stormed the meeting with a gun amid a heated debate. Imam Rasim Kılıç and preacher Ersin Kağan were killed, while four imams who were wounded in the attack were hospitalized.
Erzincan Deputy Governor Musa Baştürk told the agency the gunman had “psychological problems” and two of the people he had wounded are in critical condition. Police launched an operation to catch the assailant who fled the scene after the attack.
