Security Service urges Norwegian health sector to register extremist minors
PST says Norway’s health services should report children involved in extremist online groups after investigating 70 minors.
The Police Security Service examined 70 Norwegian youths linked to violent extremist internet circles. Its findings show that several teenage boys are already under investigation for terror plots and mass-shooting threats. PST now calls on hospitals and clinics to flag any minors showing signs of radicalisation. The report follows earlier revelations about online recruitment by groups such as The Com and the sadistic network 764.
Why it matters
Early detection of radicalised youths can help prevent terrorist acts and protect public safety.
