Norwegian university professor praises October 7 Hamas terror attack

Bassam Hussein, a project management professor at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, described the October 7 Hamas attacks as "the most beautiful thing that has happened in our century" during an April 21 lecture, drawing condemnation from Eytan Halon, Israeli Chargé d'affaires in Oslo, who called it a "shocking glorification of terror" and demanded Hussein's removal from teaching. NTNU has not yet responded publicly to the controversy.
