Krekar feared CIA plot
A Norwegian newspaper is reporting that several agents of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have been present and operating in Norway, in an effort to spirit Mullah Krekar out of the country. Newspaper Stavanger Aftenblad has reported that the US government tried to spirit Krekar out of Norway three years ago. The newspaper said it had information showing that several CIA agents were in Norway in the summer of 2003, including two wanted in Italy for the kidnapping of Egyptian Abu Omar in Milan.
"Missed him by that much!"
Aftenbladet reported that the secret CIA plan was to kidnap Krekar as well. Krekar's Norwegian attorney Brynjar Meling told the newspaper Saturday that Krekar feared a kidnapping, and that he'd be sent to the US. Meling said Krekar avoided being alone and asked for police protection in the spring of 2003.
