(National-UAE) Norwegian police on Thursday said that they had opened an investigation into statements made by an Iraqi resident in a widely circulated series of videos, in which he claims to have committed several murders while he was a member of a state-linked paramilitary organisation.
“The Norwegian police are aware of the video, and are conducting research into the statements made in the video,” a representative for Norway’s national criminal investigation service told the National.
The investigation comes after the Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression, a Paris-based NGO, filed a complaint to the Norwegian police’s war crime unit asking for an investigation into Iraqi citizen Hussein Al Hujaimi.
