[2][1][3] Both the Norwegian PST and the Danish PET also suspected the man to take part in the planning of an alleged[4][5] assassination against the leader of the Iranian group Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz.
Danish police believe the Norwegian citizen observed and photographed outside the residence of a Danish-Iranian leader of the Iranian separatist movement ASMLA (an organization that fights for independence for the Arabian-Iranian province Khuzestan).
[11][12] Danish prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen protested the alleged[4][5] assassination plot in social media.
He then intended to hand over the information gathered to Iranian authorities and also participating in the planning of an assassination plot of the ASMLA leader, which is stated in a press release from PET.
