Norway rejects extradition request by China
Davud, a Uyghur from Northwestern China came to Norway as a refugee in 1999, and now holds Norwegian citizenship. He was one of three men arrested in July on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack in Norway. The Uyghurs from the oil rich Xinjang province have long been regarded as a security risk by the Chinese authorities. The Norwegian Foreign Minister is said to have replied that an extradition is not in the cards, and that Davud's case is now in the hands of the Norwegian justice system, Dagbladet reports. (NRK)
