ROME (Reuters) – Police in six
European countries arrested at least 15 suspected members of an Islamist
militant group that was planning attacks in Norway and the Middle East,
Italian authorities said on Thursday.
They said the militants planned to strike Norwegian and
British diplomats in the Middle East and politicians in Norway but gave
no further information about the potential targets or the time frame for
any attacks.
Police in Oslo said there had never been a “concrete or acute threat” against any Norwegian citizens or interests.
The early-morning raids targeted the Rawti Shax group,
which police said was a Kurdish Sunni Muslim group dedicated to
overthrowing the government of Iraq’s Kurdistan region and replacing it
with rule by sharia (Islamic law).
