Norway

The state security service PST disclosed that two Norwegians thought to now be in Syria, Abdul Hakim Sanchez Hammer and Abu Aluevitsj Edelbijev, have been indicted for Islamic State-related terrorism. Another man in Syria, Norwegian-Chilean Islamist Bastian Alexis Vasquez, faces similar charges. Authorities say some 60 people have traveled to Syria from Norway to join extremist groups. PST warned that there is a 60 to 90 percent risk that Norway will be attacked by Islamist terrorists next year. Norwegian police have been directed to carry a weapon for the next four weeks.
