The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) has welcomed the news of the arrest of three suspects linked to an attack on a mosque in Verulam including bomb threats at shops and malls in KwaZulu-Natal.
The attack on the Imam Hussain Mosque left one person dead and three others critically wounded during a time when the Muslim community was in the sacred month of Ramadān.
The MJC says the Muslim community has been on edge since the incident as it seemed that authorities were not making headway in their investigations.
Police Minister Bheki Cele announced the arrest of the three suspects on Friday saying they are also investigating their possible involvement in other bomb threats around Durban earlier this year.
The MJC’s Shaykh Isgaak Taliep has urged the Muslim community to respect the rule of law and allow justice to take its course.
“With these arrests, we are thankful to SAPS, the Hawks, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), and all other role players who painstakingly investigated this case and subsequently arrested the alleged perpetrators. We are confident that they will face the full extent and might of the law.”
