You’ll never guess what happened next.
It’s one thing to hire a guard named Mohammed when the embassy is in Baghdad or Cairo, but in Norway? Still apparently the US embassy decided that their best option for security in Norway was a guy named Mohammed.
Guard at U.S. Embassy in Norway Charged With Spying for Russia and Iran
Mohamed Orahhou, a Norwegian, who was arrested in November, collected and leaked sensitive information about the employees of Norway’s intelligence services and the U.S. Embassy between March and November of last year, according to an indictment by the National Authority for Prosecution of Organized and Other Serious Crime. In exchange for his spying, Mr. Orahhou was paid in cash and bitcoin from Russian and Iranian authorities, the indictment said.
A “Norwegian” indeed. There has been no one in Norway’s history quite as Norwegian as this Moroccan gentleman in whose hands the security of the United States and Norway resided.
At least when the State Department hired a Muslim Brotherhood terror militia to provide security in Benghazi, the options were a bit limited. In Norway however, there was not a single Sven or Bjorn available. It was Mohammed or nothing.
