Krekar arrested after more threats

[Hevneren]

UPDATED: Mullah Krekar remained a free man Tuesday morning, pending appeal of his conviction on Monday for making death threats, but it didn’t last long. Calls had gone out for his immediate arrest, after he reportedly issued more threats over the weekend and even assaulted a TV2 reporter Monday evening. Police apprehended him at his Oslo apartment Tuesday afternoon.

Krekar, also known as Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, was arrested “on the basis of the Oslo City Court’s judgment against him … and on the basis of immediate danger for repetition of new criminal acts (threats of terror),” according to a police press release.

Krekar was sentenced on Monday to five years in prison by an Oslo city court judge, a ruling widely hailed throughout Norway’s political establishment, on newspaper editorial pages and through jubilant public comments on social media. Under Norwegian legal practice, however, such convictions are only deemed rettskraftig (enforceable under the law) until the appeals system is exhausted. Newspaper Aftenposten, for example, could report that Krekar therefore was driven home on Monday by none other than agents from Norway’s police intelligence unit PST (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste).

If a convict is considered a threat to society, however, he or she can be apprehended and held in custody pending appeal. PST evaluated doing just that, because of new alleged threats Krekar made on two websites over the weekend. Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported that armed police from both PST and the Oslo Police District arrested Krekar at his home in Oslo’s Tøyen district around 2pm.

As they escorted Krekar to a police car, Krekar yelled about support for Islam. There are concerns he already has sent out threats against Norwegian police.

Reports of hateful messages
VG Nett reported that PST is investigating a hateful message Krekar allegedly repeated on the website Paltak against three Kurdish men whom he earlier has threatened. They’re among the targets, along with former government minister Erna Solberg, of the threats that landed Krekar in court and resulted in his conviction on Monday. Prosecutor Marit Bakkevig told VG that the authorities had to consider arresting Krekar. Meanwhile, she said, they were following Krekar’s activity closely to determine whether he commited more illegal acts while waiting for his appeals trial.

Krekar also issued new threats during the weekend against Norwegian interests abroad, according to Aftenposten. While his earlier threats have been against Norwegian authorities regarding an eventual deportation from Norway, he now is believed to have issued messages, also on Paltak, that can be interpreted as threats against Norwegian police and Norwegian interests in other countries. Other statements by Krekar urging action against Norwegian police were also allegedly spread on another website as well.

In addition to the new online threats, Krekar also lunged at a TV2 reporter Monday evening and damaged his camera in TV2′s own offices. Krekar has long refused to talk to Norwegian reporters and was in TV2′s Oslo office to conduct an interview with international TV channel al Jazeera, which had rented studio space from TV2. Al Jazeera’s two journalists tried to restrain Krekar, but were also angry with TV2 for allegedly violating an agreement not to question Krekar. TV2′s question reportedly provoked Krekar.

‘Consciously creating fear’
Oslo Judge Per Fleisje, who sentenced Krekar to five years in prison, based his ruling on what he considered evidence that Krekar has “considerable influence” over hundreds of followers, who may be capable of carrying out Krekar’s beliefs that it’s allowed to kill certain persons under sharia law.

Fleisje also wrote that in the court’s opinion, Krekar “wants to create a situation where every Muslim can be seen as dangerous. Krekar’s conscious effort to link fear to every Muslim can create and intensify prejudice against Muslims in Norwegian society.”

The court, ruled Fleisje, “has no doubt that Krekar will make new death threats, if he can claim that someone has offended the Koran.”

Police announced Tuesday afternoon that Krekar would face a custody hearing in the Oslo City Court. One of his defense attorneys, Arvid Sjødin, told NRK that he hadn’t been informed of his client’s arrest, and claimed there was no evidence Krekar has made new threats.

Will he finally be kicked out of Norway then?

Will he finally be kicked out of Norway then?

Well, the government concluded already in 2003 that he's a danger to Norwegian security and should be sent home, but because Iraq cannot guarantee that he won't get a death sentence, they say they can't send him to Iraq. We've signed some charter on human rights and we're obliged to abide by it.

I think it's quite ludicrous. We may not have the death sentence here, but I don't see why we can't let this confirmed terrorist (he's been on the EU's terror list since 2006) stand trial in another country where they have the death sentence.

I fear that the politicians will have a way to "forget" this menace for the next 5 years, and when his release is due they will continue to keep him under police protection and surveillance here in Norway. :coffee:

You know what he's been doing here in Norway since 1991? He's built up an Islamist network, and the news reported that he's spent 15 hours a day on the Internet, no doubt spreading Islamist propaganda, issuing threats and advocating terror. 15 hours a day!

Krekar’s counsel surprised by pending Breivik summons

March 25, 2012

The defense attorney for Mulla Krekar, who’s been declared a threat to Norway’s national security, says he’s surprised Krekar may be called as a witness in the upcoming trial of confessed terrorist Anders Behring Breivik. Two other Islamic extremists, Arfan Bhatti and Mohyeldeen Mohammad, may be called as well.

“At first I thought this will lead to a circus that (the Breivik case) doesn’t deserve,” Krekar’s defense attorney, Brynjar Meling, told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK). But Meling also said that he can see some relevance in having Krekar, Bhatti and Mohammad testify about their own extreme views. He also said that if Krekar is summoned, his client will need to appear in court like anyone else. Krekar is currently awaiting a court verdict of his own on charges he made death threats against a former Norwegian government minister.

Other terrorists not deemed insane
The pending summons of Krekar, Bhatti and Mohammad is tied to Breivik’s claim that he is not insane. Krekar, Bhatti and Mohammad have extreme views as do many terrorists who have been behind mass murders, yet none of them has been declared insane as Breivik has. “It’s thought-provoking that several of them have quite extreme views, with neither the media nor others questioning their sanity,” one of Breivik’s defense attorneys, Vibeke Hein Bæra, told NRK.

Bæra said there were several other reasons why she and her colleagues are considering calling Krekar, Bhatti and Mohammad to testify at the trial set to begin on April 16.

“Breivik has expressed that Norway will be taken over by Muslims,” Bæra said, noting how he’s said his bombing and massacre on July 22 were meant to draw attention to the Muslim threat and halt Norway’s development into a multi-cultural society. She claimed that “several” of those who may be summoned have sent the same message, that Europe is at war against Muslims, thus “showing that Breivik is not alone in his beliefs, that his fear can thus be founded, also that he did what he did to save Norway.”

Need to ‘shed light’ on the case
Bæra said she can understand that some may react negatively to calling Krekar, Bhatti and Mohammad into Brevik’s trial. “But as (Brevik’s) defense counsel, we are obligated to call in those who can shed light on the issues,” she said.

Meling said he could see some reasons for calling in Krekar as well. “It could be relevant to shed light on the ideological thinking that is extreme on both sides,” Meling told NRK. ”And that (their ideology) doesn’t necessarily mean they’re insane.”

Bæra said she and her colleagues also want to call in forensic psychiatrists from both inside and outside Norway, in an effort to convince the court that Breivik is not insane. Breivik himself denies he is either psychotic or suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, as court-appointed psychiatrists earlier have determined.

Prosecutors, meanwhile, may call Breivik’s mother and some of his former friends to testify on how they viewed him before he unleashed is attacks on July 22. Defense counsel has indicated they’re interested in assessments of Breivik from those who knew him as well.

He may have mental problems, but he's sane enough to make multiple threats against government officials and politicians. After his arrest he's made another threat against someone who was a former Prime Minister of Norway.

[StonyArabia]

At the expense of the Norwegian taxpayer ? :rolleyes2:

I forgot about that. He does not seem rational to me, and seems to have mental issues, if he returns he should put on mental asylum over there, and not to roam free. Seriously the way he attacked the journalist is not that of a sane person. Good thing he is gone and so are his idiotic outbrusts.

He should be chucked back to the MENA hellhole he had come from and do whatever the hell he likes there as long as he doesn't trouble the Norwegian people.

True, no disagreement there. Though where he is from is not hellhole, maybe he should be chucked into the sea, it would do all a favor:cool:

He has a history of attacking people, especially journalists. In 2004 he tried to steal a camera from a journalist's hands and destroy it. You can see why he's an Islamist terrorist. He's unstable and full of anger and hatred.

Yep like many facist groups, weather it's Islamist toned or Nationalist Socialist it often attracts the dregs of society who have severe mental issues, so I find not to be strange at all.

Yes, and recently Breivik had wanted Krekar and other Islamists to witness in his trial, because he said they shared a common view.

This clown's been living here since 1991. He's wanted by multiple countries including Jordan, Iraq and the United States.

We've tried to have him thrown out of the country since 2003, but because we've signed a law to not extradite people to countries with the death penalty, we've been stuck with him. :rolleyes:

$$$$$, why else? Their countries are shit, so like the rest, they follow white folks around for jobs. They don't like us, they just like our better standard of living. They couldn't give a shit about US, regardless of government and media propaganda.

The death penalty was abandoned because we didn't need it (1870 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Netherlands)) and people began to consider immoral. Now we do need it. And the same goes for Norway and other European countries. It was abandoned because it wasn't needed and because people at that time considered it immoral but times change.

It's not particularly tempting. It's sad that it is required. In Dutch we would say "de noden van de tijd".. (the needs of the (present) time).

Norwegian society hasn't seen the need for the death penalty after Quisling. The only people I've personally wanted to see hang are pedophiles and Breivik.

[The Lawspeaker]

It is claimed that 72 percent of the Dutch (http://www.nrcnext.nl/blog/2012/03/21/next-checkt-72-procent-van-de-nederlanders-wil-doodstraf-terug/) wishes to see the death penalty reinstated. No one asked me though but still..

Krekar may be called to testify in the Breivik trial:


Vittneslistan skulle egentligen ha varit klar i förra veckan.

Men först nu har massmördaren Anders Breivik bestämt sig för vilka han vill ska vittna i rättegången mot honom.

På listan står både den högerextrema bloggaren Fjordman och den terrormisstänkta islamistledaren mulla Krekar.
