    SUBJECT:  ICELAND: 2009 COUNTY REPORTS ON TERRORISM

    ¶1. (SBU) Included is Embassy Reykjavik's submission for the 2009
    Country Report on Terrorism.  Embassy POC for this report is
    Political Officer Joshua Rubin, office phone: 354 562-9100;
    email:rubinjn@state.gov.

    The Government of Iceland stated in its most recent terrorist threat
    assessment, conducted by the National Police Commissioner in 2008,
    that the likelihood of terrorist activities occurring in Iceland is
    low.  In the same assessment, however, the government concluded that
    the potential consequences of such activities were severe enough to
    merit a high level of vigilance.  The government, therefore,
    continued its efforts to strengthen domestic border security and
    counterterrorism capabilities during the year.

    The National Police Commissioner has primary responsibility for
    counterterrorism efforts in the country.  An elite counterterrorism
    unit, called the Viking Squad, is considered the first line of
    defense in Iceland's efforts against terrorism.  The unit is
    comprised of approximately 45 members and specializes in various
    types of paramilitary techniques.  The National Security Unit, which
    also falls under the jurisdiction of the National Police
    Commissioner, gathers intelligence, drafts threat assessments and
    exchanges information with foreign counterparts with the aim to
    prevent or reduce the likelihood of terrorism.

    The Icelandic Coast Guard (ICG) is responsible for Iceland's coastal
    defense and monitors the ocean around Iceland, both within and
    outside of territorial waters.  The ICG served as the Chair of the
    North Atlantic Coast Guard Forum in 2009 and hosted the
    organization's annual conference in September.  Also in September,
    the ICG hosted Northern Challenge 2009, a NATO-supported exercise
    focusing on explosive ordnance disposal and counterterrorism
    scenarios.  The ICG cooperates closely with its counterparts in the
    U.S. Coast Guard and signed a cooperative agreement in 2008 that
    increased bilateral security cooperation.

    The Icelandic Defense Agency (IDA) has responsibility for
    operational ties with NATO and other allied states.  The IDA, which
    currently falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Foreign
    Affairs, is also responsible for monitoring Icelandic airspace via
    the Icelandic Air Defense System (IADS).  In May, the IDA
    coordinated the third annual round of high level security dialogue
    talks between the United States and Iceland since the closure of the
    Naval Air Station in Keflavik (NASKEF) in 2006.  The government
    announced in December that the IDA would be dissolved in 2010 and
    that its functions, along with those of several other agencies, will
    be merged into a prospective Ministry of Interior Affairs.

    The Icelandic government supported multilateral counterterrorism
    efforts.  Iceland continued its deployment of personnel at Kabul
    International Airport and International Security Assistance Force
    (ISAF) Headquarters in Afghanistan in support of NATO operations.

    As a country participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), Iceland
    continued to comply with requirements in the VWP law related to
    information sharing and other law enforcement and counterterrorism
    cooperation. This cooperation was further enhanced by the
    Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007.
