Swiss police have raided a mosque in a northern city, detaining eight people including an Ethiopian imam who allegedly called for the killing of Muslims who refused to participate in prayers. Police searched the An Nur mosque in Winterthur and the apartments of three people as part of the Wednesday morning operation, according to a statement from the regional prosecutor's office in nearby Zurich. They were inside the mosque at the time of the raid, and were believed to be illegally in Switzerland, said Corinne Bouvard, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office. They weren't believed to be connected to the imam and three others, whose nationalities weren't identified, she said. Originally published as Swiss police detain 8 in mosque raid
