Abdul Rauf Mohammad

Abdul Rauf Mohammad (born 1959) is an Afghan former acting Taliban government minister. He lived in Norway from 2000 until being deported in 2014. Der Spiegel reported, in December 2016, that Abdul Rauf applied for political asylum in Germany. He has eight children. In 2009 after growing concerns, PST went to action against 25 young Islamists who were part of a circle thought to have planned terror against Norway, and of which Mohammad was thought to have been the imam and mentor. The previous year, in 2008 he was sentenced to 120 days in jail for violence and death threats against his own daughter. His family remains in Norway.

Der Spiegel reported, on December 16, 2016, that, several weeks earlier, Abdul Rauf, and his family, had been intercepted by German border officials, for travelling on forged documents.
