Airing tonight, 20th July, in the US at 10 PM ET is a new show by NBC, “The Wanted”, that brings together specialists in intelligence, unconventional warfare and investigative journalism in order to bring to justice alleged terrorists, war criminals and other suspected criminals.
But the New York Times says The Wanted has a good story presented in a gimmick fashion.“Beneath many scrims of reality-show gimmickry and stagy “Dateline”-style melodrama, the episode raises a perfectly legitimate “60 Minutes” kind of question: Why is it that Mullah Krekar, who is a wanted man in Iraq and was deemed a threat to national security by the Supreme Court of Norway, is still at liberty in Oslo, even though his refugee status was revoked and the Norwegian government says it wants him gone? “
Ansar is responsible for a number of high profile terrorist attacks and assassinations in Iraqi Kurdistan.
In 2002 Ansar led a failed assassination attempt against Barham Salih, the current Iraqi Depty PM who was then serving as the Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan.
In February 2003 Ansar killed Shawkat Haji Mushir, a prominent Kurdish leader who was leading a delegation to negotiate peace with the organisation. Five others were killed in the attack including a 7 year old girl.
