Norway has no desire for dialogue with bin Laden 
Norge har ikke ønske om dialog med bin Laden
On Wednesday 27 August, the Norwegian News Agency (NTB) published an article entitled “Norge vil ha dialog med bin Laden” (Norway wants dialogue with bin Laden), which was published in a number of media today. 
Norsk Telegrambyrå (NTB) publiserte onsdag 27. august en artikkel med tittelen ”Norge vil ha dialog med bin Laden”, som i dag er gjengitt i en rekke medier.
NTB based its article on an interview with State Secretary Raymond Johansen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs published the same day in the Norwegian daily Dagsavisen. 
NTB har basert sin artikkel på et intervju med statssekretær Raymond Johansen i Utenriksdepartementet i Dagsavisen fra samme dag.
The title of the NTB article gives the wrong impression of Norwegian policy. 
Tittelen i NTBs sak gir feil fremstilling av norsk politikk.
Norway has no desire for dialogue with Osama bin Laden or the al-Qaeda terrorist network. 
Norge har ikke noe ønske om dialog med Osama bin Laden eller terrornettverket Al-Qaida.
Thus, the title of the article does not correctly reflect what Mr Johansen said to Dagsavisen. 
Det er således ikke samsvar mellom tittelen i NTBs sak og det statssekretær Johansen uttalte til Dagsavisen.
“Norway has no desire for dialogue with bin Laden. 
- Norge har ikke ønske om dialog med bin Laden.
A key criterion is that the parties themselves want such dialogue. 
Et sentralt kriterium er at partene selv ønsker en slik dialog.
