Death Threat Investigated? 1. júní 2006 14:50 Protestors carry the banner down Laugavegur Minister of Industry Valgerður Sverrisdóttir, writing on her home page, said that she has filed charges against environmentalist group Íslandsvinir (Friends of Iceland), believing that they have threatened her life. The group held a march on Laugavegur bearing a banner that read, "Drekkjum Valgerði en ekki Íslandi" ("Drown Valgerður, not Iceland), a reference to the flooding that will occur once the Kárahnjúkar dam project, which Sverrisdóttir has supported, is complete. Writing on her website, Sverrisdóttir criticised the media for giving attention to the protestors, implied that the Leftist-Green Party were working with the protestors, and said she had filed a formal charge with police to investigate the matter. Reykjavík chief of police Geir Jón Þórisson told reporters that it's a serious matter, and that the threat needs to be investigated. Sverrisdóttir concludes her article saying, "I've been told that last Saturday's protest was the beginning of an operation that's to last all summer. I ask myself what we can expect if this is just the beginning." Police officials said they had not yet decided to investigate the matter, nor would they say if they considered it likely or not that they would. A lawyer did say, however, that arrests could be made. - PFN News News in English Mest lesið Sagður hafa tæmt sjóði flokksins og rekur nýja stjórn úr húsnæðinu Innlent Greindi þátt almennings og fjölmiðla í máli „strokufangans“ Innlent Halla forseti blandar sér í götuljósaumræðuna Innlent Þúsundir syrgja í Tehran og Trump segir æðstaklerkinn ljúga Erlent Reiða fram rúma milljón fyrir Jakub Innlent Mikill viðbúnaður vegna eftirfarar á Sæbraut Innlent Allt að sautján stiga hiti í dag Veður Málið rannsakað sem tilraun til manndráps Innlent Telja Múmínlundinn klárt brot á höfundarétti Innlent Tilraun langtímakjarasamninga hafi mistekist Innlent
