Bow-and-arrow attack that killed five appears ‘terrorist act,’

An attack by a Danish man armed with a bow and arrow that killed five people in a Norwegian town appears to be a ‘‘terrorist act,’’ police said yesterday. The victims, four women and a man, were 50 to 70 years old. Norway’s police security service said the investigation was still looking into the motive behind the rare mass killing, the country’s worst such assault in years. Three people, including an off-duty officer, were also injured in the rampage, which Norway’s new prime minister described as cruel. Law enforcement officers in Kongsberg, southwest of Oslo, arrested a 37-year-old man whom authorities later identified as Espen Andersen Brathen.
