Norway ‘al-Qaeda’ bomb plot: Three arrested in Oslo
July 8, 2010
Three people have been arrested in Norway on suspicion of preparing terrorist attacks.
Unnamed Norwegian and US officials told the AP news agency that the men were members of al-Qaeda and had been under surveillance for a year.
They said it was not clear whether the men had selected a target, but they were attempting to make peroxide bombs.
The BBC’s security correspondent says Norway may have been targeted because it has troops in Afghanistan.
Norwegian police are due to hold a news conference.
On Wednesday, US prosecutors charged five men in New York over a plot to bomb the underground system. The plot was foiled in September.
