“INTERVIEW-Norway opposition eyes tough diplomacy, army boost”

OSLO, June 18 (Reuters) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Jensen, 39, said the government was reluctant to discuss the threats of radical Islam in Norway and said the country was sending out the wrong message when dealing with terror suspects.
She mentioned Mullah Krekar, an Iraqi Kurd who was ordered by Norway’s Supreme Court to be expelled for posing a security risk, but has remained in Oslo because Norway cannot send anyone to a country where he could face the death penalty.
“He’s living in an apartment in the middle of Oslo and can move around more or less as he wants — this is madness,” she said. “What kind of a signal is that for the rest of the world?””
