E.O. 12958:
DECL: 05/15/2016
TAGS: PTER, PREL, UNAUS, NO, KTFN
SUBJECT: (S) NORWAY WILL NOT PUBLICLY SUPPORT UN 1267 KREKAR DESIGNATION
REF: A. SECSTATE 77696 B. OSLO 14
Classified By: Ambassador Benson K. Whitney, reason 1.4 (b) and (d)

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.
