\n\tAt least three people, who are believed to be brothers, were arrested in connection with the recent explosion close to the US embassy in Oslo, media reports said.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe authorities believe the blast was caused by an improvised device that was placed at the building’s entrance, BBC reported.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe blast reportedly caused minor damage and injuries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\tThe brothers, all in their 20s, are Norwegian citizens with links to Iraq, Norway’s police attorney Christian Hatlo told a press conference as quoted by BBC.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t“They are suspected of a terror bombing,” Hatlo said.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe arrested people were not previously known to the police.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe authorities are currently investigating the probable motives behind the blast.<\/p>\n
\n\t“The most important thing is to get them [the suspects] questioned, then we’ll see what happens,” Hatlo said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\tThe incident occurred at a time when security across US embassies and consulates have been heightened amid the Middle East crisis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\tMultiple US diplomatic buildings in the Gulf countries, which host American troops, have been targeted in recent days by Iranian retaliatory strikes.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt is still not clear whether the blast in Oslo is linked to Middle East tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
