[edit] Krekar was leader of Ansar al-Islam

Somebody keeps removing the statement that Krekar was leader of Ansar al-Islam. Krekar himself does not dispute this fact. There is however controversy over how long he was in charge of it's operations, and what degree of control he really had. --Vindheim 19:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I think the videos of Krekar in a military uniform observing the mujahidins giving him the roman salute are more than enough to disprove any vandal removing that claim. Joffeloff 17:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What's a snatch rope operation?

The paragraph about the Navy Seals quotes Newsweek as saying "At one point, a Pentagon official proposed inserting a US Navy Seal team to engage in a "snatch rope" operation against Krekar." I know what a snatch rope (and a snatch recovery) is, but what is a snatch rope operation? Obviously it's some sort of (illegal) extraction, but how does it differ from other forms of kidnapping? What characteristics do these sort of operations have? Asav 05:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Still living in Norway

"Krekar is still living in Norway." kinda snarky, isnt it? FaustX 02:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
