| WA 'jihadist' Andrew Ibrahim Wenham in Norway mosque battle |
| 2010-11-04 |
| A FORMER West Australian jihadist who trained with the Indonesian militant group Jemaah Islamiah and later left Australia for Yemen has resurfaced in Norway. He is now at the centre of a heated controversy over the proposed building of a Saudi-funded mosque. Former Perth man Andrew Ibrahim Wenham has emerged as a central figure in a fiery public debate over construction of a mosque in the small town of Tromso in northern Norway. The controversy had been inflamed after Wenham's history of jihadist activity in Australia was reported in a front-page expose in a local newspaper, headlined, "Muslim leader involved in terror network". |
