Last week, a Swiss hacker said that she had found the American “no fly” list on the open web. The US authorities created such a list after the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September 2001. According to the FBI, the list contains information about people who can be “reasonably” suspected of being involved in terror or terrorism-related activities. Persons listed are not allowed to board flights to, from or over the United States. The content is secret, but the hacker found it on an unsecured server belonging to the airline CommuteAir. – The server contained data from a 2019 version of the federal “no fly” list, Erik Kane in the airline told the website Daily Dot. The company has also confirmed that the document is genuine to Fox Business. A spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) tells CNN that the agency is aware of a potential leak of the list, and that the matter is being investigated. Many Norwegians on the list news has now gained access to the list. It contains a number of Norwegian names. Some of the Norwegians listed have been convicted of terrorism-related cases. news’s investigations show that several of those listed have been associated with IS in Syria. news does not have the exact number of Norwegians on the list, but by comparing it with Norwegian tax lists, news has found 867 people who may be Norwegians or resident in Norway. Many of these may be foreigners who have the same name and year of birth as persons in the Norwegian tax lists. This is how news found Norwegian names The list consists of 1.5 million entries. By comparing the list with Norwegian tax lists, we have found 1,388 people. Many of these people have been listed several times. By removing the duplicate entries, we are left with 867 names. Not all of these names are Norwegian citizens or reside in Norway. One of the Norwegians on the list is the high-profile researcher Lars Gule. Until recently, he was an associate professor at Oslo Met, where he taught about extremism, multiculturalism and Islam. Gule: – Only hesitate. In 1977, Gule was stopped at the airport in Beirut in Lebanon with explosives in his luggage. The researcher was sentenced to prison for illegal possession of weapons, but acquitted of attempting to carry out terrorist acts. – This says something about how bad the FBI’s intelligence is. The fact that I am on this list is just a mistake. It makes no sense at all, says Gule to news when he hears that his name is on the list. It has never been relevant for Gule to travel to the USA, but has been on flights to other parts of the world without encountering any problems. Gule believes the entry shows that the US authorities have not quality-assured their intelligence information well enough. – Do you have any understanding that the US has put you on the list considering that you were stopped with explosives at an airport? – No. I understand that they are investigating what I did and what I stand for. But if they had investigated, they would have known that this is something I no longer stand for. It is incorrect information. How many others are affected, perhaps even more unfounded than in my case, is not good to know, concludes Gule.
