1. (S/NOFORN) In our previous conversations on the topic of
a possible 1267 listing against Mullah Krekar (reftel B),MFA
Legal Advisor Rolf Einar Fife made absolutely clear that
Norway would not support overtly a UNSCR 1267 listing for
Mullah Krekar. The MFA wants no fingers pointing back to
Norway and is terrified lest it ever became public knowledge
that we have had any official bilateral communication on this
subject. Norway will neither oppose nor support our efforts
to designate Krekar. Fife did not tell us that we should not
try to list Krekar; however, he made clear that Norway would
not take part in any way.
2. (S/NOFORN) There has been no demonstrable change in
circumstances since we previously approached Norway on this
subject. As we reported, the greatest danger to the domestic
Norwegian process of expelling Krekar is if the media somehow
manages to link our actions to the ongoing Norwegian efforts
to kick him out. Krekar is already a discredited figure in
Norway, and Norwegian authorities have already seized his
assets. A UNSCR 1267 listing would have little domestic
impact in terms of further exposing or isolating Krekar.
