Norwegian police on Tuesday arrested
a jihadi cleric sentenced Monday to 12 years in jail by a court
in the northern city of Bolzano.
Mullah Krekar was arrested at the request of Italian
authorities.
He has been living in Norway for 30 years.
Krekar is considered the spiritual head of the Rawthi Shax
jihadist cell.
The cell was dismantled in autumn 2015 following a probe by
ROS security police in Trento.
As well as the mullah, three of the six other persons found
guilty Monday were arrested in order to be extradited, like him,
to Italy.
