The Norwegian security police PST has during the week sought out children who, among other things, are said to have incited terror and murder of homosexuals on the net.
The 15-20 children who received a visit from PST were mainly between 12 and 17 years old, reports NRK. They are part of a network that the security police have been following for some time, and which spreads right-wing extremist messages and propaganda on the net.
Bjørn-Willy Wold, head of the counter-terrorism section within PST, states that the posts linked to the network are so serious that they have chosen to take action in a coordinated operation across the country. This includes, among other things, violent video clips and images of weapons.
They also share films of carried-out terror. They idolise Anders Behring Breivik and Brenton Tarrant, who killed over 50 people in a mosque in Christchurch. It's sometimes quite unsettling, says Wold.
It's not certain that the young people would do what they write on the net, emphasises Hege Naustdal at PST. The purpose of the talks is preventative, she says to NRK.
It's important that they understand the whole picture. The talks are also important for parents to find out what their children are doing on the net.
