Mullah Krekar Jailed Again for Norway Threats
The 56-year-old mullah, who founded the Ansar al-Islam group and who has lived in Norway since 1991, has already been given a five year prison sentence for threatening the life of a former government minister.
The court found Krekar, whose real name is Najmeddine Faraj Ahmad, guilty of calling for violent acts if he was convicted at his first trial five months ago.
On the chat forum www.paltalk.com, Krekar warned on March 24th that his conviction could lead to “a suicide operation” or random attacks on Norwegians by his supporters, suggesting possible kidnappings and hinting that Norway’s former prime minister, Kjell Magne Bondevik, could be a target.
