The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) say they are aware of the fact that extreme Islamistic groups are attempting to recruit members from among young people from Norway.

- We know this goes on. We also know that this is something we must prevent. This is given highest priority, says PST Chief Janne Kristiansen to NRK.

PST does not want to confirm that they know for sure that anyone from Norway has enlisted,  but say they know of attempts at recruiting.

The Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) say they know of several young people from Sweden who have left the country to join extremist groups.
