Iranian-Born Norwegian Man Sentenced to 30 Years for Oslo Pride Terror Attack

Zaniar Matapour found guilty of killing two and injuring nine in 2022 shooting at LGBTQ+ festival.

Matapour fired 18 rounds into a crowd outside London Pub, a popular gay bar.
Court confirmed Matapour's allegiance to the Islamic State group and longstanding radicalization.
Prosecutors described the 30-year sentence as historically severe under Norway's terror laws.
The attack led to the cancellation of Oslo's Pride parade due to security concerns.
Matapour's defense argued he was provoked by an intelligence agent, but the court rejected this claim.
