Security boosted around top politician

Quick Summary:

Abid Raja has long been an outspoken, controversial but popular politician for Norway’s Liberal Party (Venstre).

Now he’s under special protection by Norway’s domestic intelligence agency PST, after being threatened during a presentation of his latest book that once again challenges honour and fear in the Muslim culture.

Library officials have confirmed that a second man in the audience also stood up later in the program and objected to Raja’s criticism, but Raja didn’t feel he posed any real threat.
