A contributor to the forum, which the anti-terrorist SITE Institute in Washington believes is tied to al-Qaida, calls on "Europe's mujahedin warriors" to prepare to protect Krekar, who came to Norway as a refugee in the early 1990s.
Krekar, whom the Norwegian authorities are currently trying to deport, may be the target of an Egyptian group's quest for revenge for the death of Egypt's ambassador, writes contributor "Abu Trab al-Jazaerie," or "the man from Algeria." He urges the mujahedin in Europe "to respond with more than the same" if something should happen to Krekar.
He claims he received "special news" from a "brother" in Egypt, who warned that the Egyptians were targeting Krekar. That's apparently because Krekar is viewed as one of the founders of the guerrilla group Ansar al-Islam, which many claim evolved into Ansar al-Sunnah.
That group in turn has alleged ties to al-Qaida's branch in Iraq, which has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and murder of Egypt's ambassador.
Krekar's lawyer and spokesman, Brynjar Meling, has made himself unavailable for comment since he's on summer holiday. Krekar's brother, Khalid Faraj Ahmad, told Aftenposten.no that he didn't want to comment on the interpretation of the Internet forum's posting by SITE.
Krekar himself has long claimed he maintains no ties to Ansar al-Islam.
SITE (Search for International Terrorist Entities Institute), meanwhile, is a volunteer organization that tries to monitor activity by groups and individuals linked to terrorism.
