NORWAY INFILTRATED

Judith Apter Klinghoffer points to this Aftenposten report:

Norway used as terror base

Islamic extremists are using Norway as a base for terrorist operations overseas, but the head of Norway’s security police claims they’re being watched.

“We believe we have control,” Jørn Holme, who heads the equivalent of Norway’s national security agency (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste, PST), told newspaper Dagbladet on Friday. “But as with any other country’s security police, we can’t make any guarantees.”

Holme said there are people in Norway “who support terror” in other countries. “They use Norway as a base,” he said.

He stressed that the terror groups, or cells, are few, but dangerous.

Last week Holme pointed to second- and third-generation immigrants in Norway as representing the largest challenge to PST’s battle against terrorism. He toned down the threat that asylum seekers earlier were believed to represent.

He told Dagbladet that he views the threat of a terrorist act in Norway as “moderate.”
