Mullah Krekar's family have named a Kurdish leader from Northern Iraq who they believe is responsible for the shooting against Krekar's apartment in Oslo early Monday morning.  According to the newspaper VG, the police will now try to find out if one of Krekar's enemies from Northern Iraq could have arranged the attack. The man is reported to have been in Norway recently. He is said to be a central leader ofthe Kurdistan Patriotic Union (PUK).

PUK has been in conflict with Krekar's organisation Ansar al-Islam which he led in Northern Iraq.

PUK in Norway reject the idea that they are behind the attack.
