“In al-Qaeda’s sights”
The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Canadian connections to islamist terror groups Ansar Al-Islam (Supporters of Islam)

The radical Sunni Islamist, para-military terrorist group is composed of Iraqi Kurds, Arabs and others. The group surfaced just before September 2001 as a result of a merger of several Kurdish Sunni groups, and follows the same extremist interpretation of Islam as does al-Qaeda, to which it is closely affiliated.

Its leader, Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, better known as Mullah Krekar, once proclaimed to a Kurdish newspaper that “as far as Islam is concerned, democracy from beginning to end is heresy.”

Ansar is blamed for three attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and has had at least three Canadian members, all from the Toronto area.”

“Islamic extremists pose rising challenge to Norway, police intelligence agency says”

The Associated PressPublished: February 19, 2008

OSLO, Norway

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The agency said the most common contribution to possible terrorism by people in Norway is likely to remain funding of extremists abroad.

However, it said experience from other European countries suggests that an increasing number of Muslims in Norway could adopt extremist views, “in the worst case supporting or participating in terror acts in Norway.”

Iraqi Kurd Mullah Krekar, who founded the al-Qaida-linked extremist group Ansar al-Islam, is a refugee in Norway, but was declared a threat to national security in 2005 and ordered deported. He has not yet been expelled.”
