Ayman al-Zawahiri warned Norway before. They also gave political asylum to some of Chechen separatists. And some more.

Even if the current attacks have nothing to do with those - they should have seen this coming

Some info from wiki:
Quote:
Al Jazeera reported that several days prior to the explosion, Norwegian prosecutors filed a terrorism charge against Mullah Krekar, the founder of the Kurdish Ansar al-Islam, who faced accusations of threatening former Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Erna Solberg with death. He responded that "Norway will pay a heavy price for my death. If, for example, Erna Solberg deports me and I die as a result, she will suffer the same fate." However, Al Jazeera stated it was not clear whether the case was related to the blast. Mullah Krekar's lawyer Brynjar Meling denies that Krekar has any involvement with the bombing. Also, Erna Solberg (H) is in opposition to the ruling political party (AP).
