OSLO: Norway's intelligence agency on Monday said that it fears an increased "terrorist threat" to its country due to dozens of Norwegian nationals fighting in the Syrian conflict.
At least 40 or 50 people with links to Norway have fought, or are currently fighting, with forces opposed to the Bashar al-Assad regime and run the risk of returning as seasoned radical fighters, the Norwegian Intelligence Service (NIS) wrote in its annual threat assessment report.
"We conclude that the threat has already increased and will continue to increase throughout 2014," the head of NIS General Kjell Grandhagen said, adding that these "jihadists" are often in the most radical Islamic groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIL) and Al-Nusra Front.
The NIS estimates that about 2,000 rebel fighters have travelled from Europe to fight the Syrian regime but did not reveal how the figure was calculated.
Norwegian daily Verdens Gang also reported today that about a dozen women have left Norway for Syria to join rebel groups.
In late 2013 the fate of two teenage girls of Somali origin hit the headlines in Norway when they left to join a jihadi group in Syria and were located weeks later by their father who brought them home.
Wow. What a big surprise this is. Norway decides to let a wolf live in the house and now is worried about getting bit.
Who hasn’t let the wolf in?
Multiculturalism is GOOD, by definition, right?

Solution..Don’t let them back into the Country.
What we ought to do also.
We haven't always enforced it, but serving in the armed forces of another country can be grounds to revoke your US citizenship.
Joining the jihad should qualify. I absolutely believe any US citizen who joins the jihad should have his citizenship revoked. If they were smart the Norwegians would take the same position.
This is the country that gave a man 21 years in prison(with the possibility of parole after 14 years) for murdering 77 children. I’m not going to wring my hands on their behalf over their failure to address an Islamist threat when they make no concerted effort to defend themselves otherwise.
Soon you want have a business
Norway has enough to deal with regarding home grown terrorists like Anders Breivik. Adding muslims to the mix is just courting trouble. Wasn’t the killing of 77 people by Breivik in 2 separate murder sprees enough?
Are cultures are equivalent, right?
I think Muslums never watch Deadliest catch
Anybody seen Hansen brothers from Northwestern they kick a***
Exactly. When did Norway ever have colonies for the usual suspects to point to as the reason they have to now be colonized? I can’t point to any too far after Brian Boru’s victory at Clontarf in 1014.
Europe is trying to be so Politically Correct that it is going to kill itself. Just say NO to Muslims, Europe.
