Three Norwegian citizens with Iraqi heritage arrested as investigators probe possible foreign state involvement.
Norwegian police say they have arrested three brothers suspected of carrying out Sunday’s “terror bombing” attack on the US embassy in Oslo.
The unnamed men, all Norwegian citizens in their 20s with Iraqi heritage, were taken into custody in the Norwegian capital on Wednesday afternoon.
Police lawyer Christian Hatlo told reporters the brothers were suspected of deliberately targeting the embassy with a powerful improvised explosive device (IED), with the intention of killing or causing serious harm.
None of the three had previously come to police attention.
Investigators believe one brother planted the bomb, while the other two played supporting roles in the plot. None had been questioned by the time of Wednesday’s news conference.
