OSLO – Authorities in Norway announced Wednesday that three individuals have been taken into custody following the weekend bombing incident at the United States embassy in the capital city.
The explosion occurred during the early morning hours on Sunday when an improvised explosive device detonated near the embassy’s consular entrance, according to Norwegian officials. While the blast caused significant damage to the building’s entrance area, no one was hurt in the incident.
Police Attorney Christian Hatlo addressed the media about the arrests, stating: “They are suspected of a terror bombing.”
Earlier this week, law enforcement officials released surveillance footage showing one person of interest – an individual dressed in dark clothing with their face concealed by a hood, carrying what appeared to be a backpack or bag.
