Foxtrot figure charged with multiple violent crimes in Norway

Norwegian police have charged Ali Namdar, a 21-year-old Swedish national, with involvement in several violent incidents across Norway. Authorities consider Namdar a strategically important figure within the Foxtrot network, particularly in organizing violent operations.

Kripos, Norway's national criminal investigation service, and the Oslo police district have jointly charged Namdar. He is internationally wanted by Norwegian authorities. Kripos has identified him as a key figure linked to a grenade attack in Pilestredet in September 2025.

We believe he plays a central role in Foxtrot and is considered strategically important to the network, especially regarding the organization of violent missions.

Namdar faces charges for this attack and other violent missions, including shootings in Sarpsborg and Høybråten.
