Three men stormed a mosque in Durban, stabbing two people and slitting the throat of another man who died in hospital. Critics have described the attack on the Imam Hussain Mosque in Ottawa, Verulam on Thursday as a "heinous attack" and "totally unjustified". One victim jumped from a side window of the building, which had been set ablaze sending smoke billowing, said Prem Balram, a spokesman for Reaction Unit SA, a private emergency service, who was among the first on the scene. “One of the three has just died on his way to hospital. The other two are in critical condition,” said Balram, adding that the suspects fled in a white car. “The suspects were Egyptian males. The local people here identified them.” South African police said the motive of the attack at a mosque in the provinne of KwaZulu-Natal was unknown and they were investigating.
