Austria has closed a mosque and an Islamic association frequented by the gunman who opened fire in Vienna on Monday, the authorities said. The country's Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said the closure was an "important step" against those trying to take advantage of Austrian laws. Austria's response is "not a fight against Muslims in Austria", an official said.
