Police said he had admitted that the attack was in retaliation for a recent court ruling that a schoolteacher should not be promoted to the post of headmistress because she wore the headscarf on her way to and from work.
Policija je priopćila kako je priznao da je napad predstavljao osvetu za nedavnu odluku suda prema kojoj jedna učiteljica nije mogla postati ravnateljica škole jer je nosila maramu prigodom dolaska i odlaska s posla.
