The trial of Mullah Krekar commences, accused of threatening a politician with death.
Mullah, founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam, has been living in Oslo since 2001. By the end of 2006, his name figures on the UN terrorist list.
Mullah once stated, "to carry out terrorist attacks against the West is like giving Western societies electric shock".
He has expressed his desire to return to Kurdistan in the near future.
