Questions mount over Vienna gunman, a convicted ISIL sympathiser

Austrian Macedonian national Kujtim Fejzulai, who killed four people, was released on probation in December. The assailant, named as 20-year-old dual Austrian Macedonian national Kujtim Fejzulai, had been convicted and sentenced to prison in April last year for trying to travel to Syria to join ISIL. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has described the decision to release Fejzulai – who was shot dead by police on Monday evening – as “definitely wrong”. Nehammer said his case had shown up a “fracture” in the system and that raids at Fejzulai’s home after the attack revealed plentiful evidence of his radical views. “Nobody would have thought him capable of something like this,” Nikolaus Rast, the lawyer who represented Fejzulai last year, told AFP on Wednesday.
