Norway Arrests Islamic Extremist Leader VOA News 02 Jan 2004, 18:21 UTC Norwegian authorities have arrested a leader of an Islamic extremist group based in Iraq. Norwegian officials say police picked up Mullah Krekar at his apartment in connection with a suicide attack carried out by the Ansar al-Islam group in northern Iraq. The officials say police are searching Mr. Krekar's apartment before filing formal charges against him. Norwegian authorities describe Mullah Krekar as the leader of the radical Islamic group, which was based in the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq near the Iranian border until dispersed by U.S. troops last year. The United States designated Ansar al-Islam a terrorist organization last February. Norwegian officials believe the group has ties to al-Qaida and say some of its members fought in Afghanistan. But Mullah Krekar has denied any al-Qaida ties. Mullah Krekar has been living as a political refugee in Norway for more than a decade. Norwegian authorities arrested him last year on terrorism charges. But a court ordered his release in April, ruling that authorities did not have sufficient evidence to hold him. voanews.com.
