Norwegian police have been questioning friends and family of a Somalia-born Norwegian citizen who they suspect may be one of the gunmen behind last month's terrorist attack in Nairobi.

The New York Times reports that Norwegian police are investigating whether Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow, a Norwegian citizen born in Somalia, was one of at least four militants involved in the September attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, that left more than 60 people dead. The police have been questioning friends and family of Mr. Dhuhulow.

Not Norway! ...was it those Norse Amish again?

[BBell]

Boot the whole family. Won’t happen of course.

[lurk]

Those Norwegians sure are a tolerant lot.

Heard a report on this on BBC last night, they thought important to note out of 2,000,000 Somalis who were refugees only 200 were estimated to be terrorist. I think the operative word is “estimated”.

What happened to the report of several Americans involved?

Who investigates them and the trails UNDER OBAMA?

A muslim in Norway is, unfortunately, still a muslim. Muslims are culturally teflon-coated, no matter what society you drop them into.

[School of Rational Thought]

Norway is big on multi-culturalism.

Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow....
I KNEW the Vikings had to be behind this

No wonder the TSA used to search my 85 year old Irish...and wheelchair confined...father.He *looked* Norwegian.

That might be because he could have Norwegian ancestry. I attended a lecture some years ago at the Milwaukee Irish Fest where the speaker claimed the famous battle of Clontarf in 1014 where Brian Boru won all the marbles was just a battle between rival Norwegian gangs.

“I KNEW the Vikings had to be behind this”

You beat me to it. Now if the authorities can find where they stashed their boat that will proof positive. The shooters probably harbored resentment from 10th century Viking incursions and were just out to embarrass Eric the Reds’ descendants.
