Norwegian police are investigating the explosion that occurred near the U.S. embassy in Oslo, seeking potential connections to a criminal network linked to a previous explosion near the Israeli embassy in Hellerup in 2024. Police chief Frode Larsen confirmed to Dagbladet that the investigation is being conducted broadly and not limited to one theory, emphasizing the complexity and seriousness of the situation.
Larsen indicated that among the various theories being pursued, there is a consideration that the incident could have been orchestrated by someone, which makes the exploration of ties to organized crime significant. This highlights the potential for a wider network at play, raising concerns about security and the implications for international diplomatic missions in Norway.
As the investigation unfolds, the focus will remain not just on the immediate incident but also on understanding the broader criminal landscape that could influence future security measures. The situation underscores the need for vigilance in safeguarding diplomatic missions against potential criminal activities.
