1970s

In what has been called the Lillehammer affair, Moroccan citizen Ahmed Bouchikhi was assassinated in Lillehammer in 1973 by Mossad, who mistook Bouchikhi for Ali Hassan Salameh. Norway reacted with judicial prosecution of Mossad operatives.[1]

2000s

The Norwegian embassy's alleged improper sheltering of 2 dual-citizenship children (of Khalid Skah and Cecilie Hopstock) during their escape in 2009, led to a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.[2] The children stayed at the embassy for 3 days.[3] On the following day, Norway's ambassador Bjørn Blokhus left Morocco.[4] One year after the incident, Moroccan authorities had not approved any new ambassador from Norway.[4]
