Norwegian hoax caller assures US ambassador of PM's
support

OSLO (AFP) — A 19-year-old Norwegian, passing himself off
as his country's prime minister, telephoned the US
ambassador here to express his support for the war on Iraq,
the US embassy said Thursday. "A young man called the
ambassador and said he was the prime minister," embassy
spokeswoman Kathy Perez told AFP. The caller, Richard
Ringheim, earlier told Bergenavisen daily that "I introduced
myself as (Prime Minister) Kjell Magne Bondevik and I asked
to speak to the ambassador. I said it was most urgent."
Thirty seconds later the ambassador, John Doyle Ong, came on
the line. "Hello, Mr Prime Minister," he greeted the caller,
according to Ringheim's account. In the subsequent
conversation, which Ringheim said lasted ten to 15 minutes,
he expressed his support for the US-led military operations
in Iraq.

"I told him I couldn't say this in public because of the
lack of support for the war in my government and the party.
He was delighted with this message, and said he would pass
it on to the highest level," Ringheim said. But it seems
that the US ambassador, who had recently warned of
repercussions due to the lack of Norwegian support for the
Iraq war, suspected that the sudden mood change was too good
to be true. "The ambassador got pretty suspicous so he
wrapped up the call. Then, someone from the embassy called
the prime minister's office to check it out," Perez said.
The ambassador has no plans to file charges, said the
spokeswoman. "We can take a joke," she said.
