OSLO, Norway — A court Wednesday rejected an appeal by the founder of Ansar al-Islam, an Islamic terror group in Iraq, and upheld a government order to expel him from Norway as a threat to national security.
The Kurdish leader Mullah Krekar, a refugee in Norway since 1991, challenged the order to strip him of his refugee status and deport him to Iraq.
In its ruling, the Borgarting appeals court in Oslo rejected his appeal, found that the government has the right to expel him, and ordered Krekar to pay $44,960 in legal costs.
Krekar's lawyer, Arvid Sjoedin, said he would review the ruling before deciding whether to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The latest decision upholds a September 2005 ruling by the Oslo City Court that also said the government's grounds for expelling Krekar as a security risk were valid.
The appeals court said it was unlikely that Krekar could be expelled immediately, "because conditions in Iraq are currently such that he cannot be returned due to Norway's international obligations" to ensure his safety.
