Krekar told his followers that if he's arrested or imprisoned, they can take revenge against Norway and Norwegians at home and abroad: including police officers, intelligence people and regular Norwegians. Krekar also threatened that former PM Kjell Magne Bondevik 'will be killed in Somalia'. Bondevik is currently in the Middle East and was informed of the threats.
