Police clarify reports of ‘attacks’ on Bayraktar mosque

The police on Tuesday  clarified the circumstances surrounding attacks on Nicosia’s Bayraktar mosque  following media reports.

Turkey’s Anadolu Agency had reported earlier in the day that two attackers armed with knives had entered the mosque on January 12, injuring one person and causing damage to the mosque, before returning a week later to do more damage to the building.

However, the police said the facts were not exactly as reported.
