Now it has been directed at one of our own.
Nå rammer den en av våre.
Today we can confirm that a Norwegian citizen is being held hostage in Syria.
Vi kan i dag bekrefte at en norsk statsborger holdes som gissel i Syria.
Everything indicates that ISIL is responsible.
Alt tyder på at det er ISIL som står bak.
We believe it is now appropriate to confirm certain information about the case, and we wish to provide the information that we can at this time.
Vi mener det er riktig å bekrefte enkelte opplysninger i saken, og ønsker å gi den informasjon som vi kan gi på nåværende tidspunkt.
At the end of January Norwegian authorities were made aware of a possible kidnapping of a Norwegian citizen in Syria.
Norske myndigheter ble i slutten av januar gjort kjent med en mulig kidnapping av en norsk statsborger i Syria.
In the period since then he has been held captive by different groups, but we currently have reason to believe that he is being held by ISIL.
Han har i tiden etter dette blitt holdt fanget av forskjellige grupperinger, men vi har i dag grunn til å tro at han holdes fanget av ISIL.
The kidnappers have put forward a series of demands for significant ransom amounts.
Kidnappernes har fremsatt en serie krav om betydelige summer i løsepenger.
As soon as the Norwegian authorities were alerted to the kidnapping, a crisis team was set up under the leadership the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with participation by the National Police Service’s crisis and hostage negotiation service, the Norwegian Intelligence Service, the National Criminal Investigation Service, the Norwegian Police Security Service and the National Police Directorate.
Så snart norske myndigheter ble varslet om kidnappingen ble det umiddelbart etablert en krisestab under ledelse av Utenriksdepartementet og med deltakelse fra Politiets krise- og gisselforhandlertjeneste (KGF), E-tjenesten, Kripos, PST og Politidirektoratet.
The work of the crisis staff continues with full vigour.
Krisestaben arbeider pågår for fullt.
We have mobilised all relevant forces that Norwegian authorities have at their disposal in dealing with this matter.
Vi har mobilisert alle relevante krefter norske myndigheter råder over i arbeidet med denne saken.
We are working with several other countries and with their various services.
Vi samarbeider med flere andre land og med deres ulike tjenester.
We are also in contact with various parties in the region that could potentially assist our efforts.
Vi har også kontakt med ulike aktører i regionen som potensielt kan bidra til vårt arbeid i denne saken.
Our goal is to bring our citizen home.
Vårt mål er å få vår statsborger hjem.
But let me be clear: This is a very challenging case.
Men la meg være tydelig: Dette er en svært krevende sak.
The Government’s Security Council (RSU) has been regularly informed about developments in the case.
Regjeringens sikkerhetsutvalg har blitt jevnlig orientert om utviklingen i saken.
The parliamentary leaders have also been briefed.
De parlamentariske lederne er også orientert.
It is hard to comprehend the extreme strain that a Norwegian citizen and his family are currently enduring.
Det er tungt å ta inn over seg den ekstreme belastning en norsk borger og hans familie nå utsettes for.
It’s difficult to imagine the fear and uncertainty they have lived with and continue to live with.
Det er vanskelig å forestille seg den frykten og uvissheten de har levd med og fortsetter å leve med.
They have been informed of the developments in the case this evening.
De er i kveld orientert om utviklingen i saken.
I would strongly urge the media to respect their privacy.
Jeg vil på det sterkeste henstille media om å respektere deres privatliv.
This is a matter that the government is taking very seriously.
Dette er en sak regjeringen tar svært alvorlig.
We neither can nor will give in to pressure from terrorists and criminals.
Vi hverken kan eller vil gi etter for press fra terrorister og kriminelle.
Norway does not pay ransom.
Norge betaler ikke løsepenger.
This is a principle we cannot depart from in the face of cynical terrorists.
Dette er et prinsipp vi ikke kan fravike i møte med kyniske terrorister.
Payment of ransom would increase the risk that other Norwegian nationals will be taken hostage.
Utbetaling av løsepenger vil øke risikoen for at andre norske borgere tas som gissel.
We are also bound by international law and UN resolutions to counter terrorist financing.
Vi er også forpliktet av folkeretten og FN-resolusjoner til å motvirke terrorfinansiering.
Unfortunately, the attention the organisation is now receiving in Norway is exactly what it must want.
Dessverre vil den oppmerksomheten organisasjonen nå får i Norge være nettopp det de ønsker.
This is a matter that challenges us as a nation.
Dette er en sak som utfordrer oss som nasjon.
We’re up against forces that recognise no other language than violence and hatred.
Her står vi mot krefter som ikke kjenner annet språk en vold og hat.
ISIL’s brutality has driven millions of people from their homes in Iraq and Syria and cost thousands of lives.
ISILs brutalitet har drevet milioner fra hjemmene sine i Irak og Syria og kostet tusener av mennesker livet.
We have seen images like these before.
Denne typen bilder har vi sett før.
Now it is a Norwegian family that’s experiencing fear and terror for one of its loved ones.
Nå er det en norsk familie som opplever frykt og redsel for en av sine.
More than ever, it will now be important that we stand together and stand up for what we believe in.
Mer enn noen gang kommer det til å bli viktig å stå sammen og stå opp for det vi tror på.
