Woman Slits Husband´s Throat

For Making Her Eat Pork

A devout Muslim woman told police she slashed her husband’s neck with a kitchen knife as he slept because he forced her to eat pork, wear short skirts and drink alcohol in violation of her religious beliefs. Rabia Sarwar, 37, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and was freed on $25,000 bail. She told police in a written statement that she was emotionally abused by her husband, Sheikh Naseem.

“He made me do so many things that are against Islam,” she wrote in a statement to police. “I did all that just to make him happy but inside me there was a war,” she continued.

Naseem suffered cuts to his neck, cheek and hand early Wednesday before fighting Sarwar off and dialing 911 from his Staten Island home, authorities said.

“I did my best to cut his throat,” Rabia Sarwar wrote. “But the next moment he jumped on me and grabbed me.”

Calamities galore on a sunny day

The sun was shining on the Oslo area Wednesday, but all was far from calm for local emergency crews. A storm of unrelated alarms descended on police and firefighters from Drammen in the west to Follo in the southeast, and meanwhile, all train traffic through the capital was at a standstill, leading to major transit disruption.

The problems began in the morning, when firefighters in Bærum, west of Oslo, were summoned to a blaze in a large residential complex at Rykkin. More than 100 persons had to be evacuated from their homes when the fire that began in one flat ignited the roof and it started to collapse. Experts said the building was likely to be rendered uninhabitable, and by mid-afternoon, residents were told they’d lost their homes.

Then came reports that the local police station in Sandvika had to be evacuated, after a resident wandered in carrying a box that contained around a kilo of dynamite. “The person simply wanted to turn in the dynamite,” a police spokeswoman told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK). “We determined the dynamite to be of a a nature that required immediate evacuation.” She claimed no threat was involved in the episode, and no one was injured.

Around noon, NRK was reporting that all train traffic was halted through Oslo’s Central Station (Oslo-S), because of signal problems. That forced beleaguered railway NSB to press a bus fleet into service, but travel was nonetheless disrupted for thousands of passengers, and work was underway to get the signal problem fixed before the afternoon commuter rush set in. The express train to the airport at Gardermoen, Flytoget, was also affected.

By mid-afternoon, police in Drammen were responding to a bomb threat in the center of town. Police told NRK that “someone” called in the threat at 12:50pm to a firm located on the main street (Storgata). Police evacuated the building and were searching it with dogs and special equipment around 3pm.

Meanwhile, a woman was found dead in her home at Nordberg in Oslo and police suspected she’d been murdered. It would be the second murder of a woman in Oslo in as many days, after a mother of two small children was killed in her home at Torshov on Tuesday. Her husband was under arrest.

And in Follo, southeast of Oslo, a woman was critically injured in another fire at her home at Vevelstadåsen. Six fire trucks and 14 firefighters responded to the call, and found the woman in her 50s overcome by smoke in her apartment in the multi-family building. She died on the way to the hospital. The fire was believed to have started in a water heater.

Norway’s last diva dead at 93

Wenche Foss, one of Norway’s most popular actresses and widely referred to as the country’s last diva, died Monday at the Diakonhjemmet hospital in Oslo, age 93. She’d said herself in December that she was seriously ill, and didn’t think she’d live to see the New Year.

She did, just as she had cheated other serious illnesses so many other times in her long life. Decades ago, she contributed to removing local tabus against talking about cancer, after she was diagnosed with cancer herself. She also is credited with removing tabus around mental illness and not least Downs Syndrome, after she gave birth to a baby in 1954 who at the time would have been referred to as mongoloid. Foss was also a champion in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and for improving the rights of homosexuals. She had many friends in the theater world who were gay, and felt it only right that they be treated with dignity and respect by all, not just those in cultural circles.

Foss was as famous for her activism as she was for her work on the stage and her insistence at bringing glamour into the lives of post-war Norwegians. She was often called the Champagne pike, (the Champagne girl), posing with glasses of bubbly with her hair carefully coiffed, her face made up and wearing elegant clothes.

Foss debuted on the stage at the age of 17, in the play Taterblod, and went on to make her name as a comedienne. Her breakthrough came in 1939 when she landed the lead role in Den Glade Enke(The Merry Widow), and she became one of Norway’s biggest film stars as well.

Her career at the National Theater in Oslo spanned five decades, starting in 1952. She stayed active on the stage well into her 80s, and her 80th birthday itself was celebrated with a gala performance at National Theater on December 5, 1997, where she memorably performed gymnastics on the stage to prove how agile and strong she still was.

But it was her activism in social issues and her fight for justice at all levels of society that set Foss apart from her colleagues. She once refused to accept an award from the City of Oslo, to protest what she considered the “shameful” care offered to the capital’s elderly at the time. Her son, Fabian Stang, later went on to become mayor of Oslo and elder care has continued to be at the top of the political agenda.

She was also well-known for her positive thinking and her smile, and once said she woke up every morning wondering who she could cheer up during the course of the day.

“We have lost one of our foremost actresses, and Norway has lost one of its most profiled personalities,” said Hanne Tømta, chief of the National Theater. “Our thoughts go to her son Fabian and her family, who had to share her not only with us, her friends and colleagues at the National Theater, but also with the entire Norwegian population.”

The government decided Monday afternoon that Foss’ funeral would be paid for by the state, the ultimate honour awarded Norwegian citizens.
