"Unfortunately, there are people who try to exploit and abuse the refugee system. We have uncovered some quota refugees with links to the Nusra Front and the ISIL," police superintendent Svein Erik Molstad said as quoted by the Dagbladet newspaper.
During two trips to the Middle East, Norway’s Police Security Service discovered that around ten Norway-bound quota refugees were members of the groups, designated as terrorist organizations by many countries, according to the daily.
Norway has provided humanitarian aid and planned to deploy military trainers as part of the US-led coalition that has been conducting airstrikes on ISIL positions in Syria and Iraq since August 2014.
Both the ISIL and Nusra Front groups are parties to the Syrian civil war, fighting forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The ISIL, notorious for publishing multiple videos showing the beheadings of foreign hostages, controls vast areas of Iraq and Syria.
