Three brothers suspected of the bombing in Oslo

Three brothers have been arrested in connection with a bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, suspected of terrorism.

Three brothers have been arrested following a bombing attack on the U.S. Embassy in Oslo. They are suspected of committing a terrorist act with the intent to kill or cause significant damage. Police prosecutor Christian Hatlo stated that the attack occurred early Sunday morning and left the area around the embassy shaken.

The brothers, all in their twenties and residents of the Norwegian capital, are believed to have links to Iraq. One of them is suspected of carrying out the bombing itself, as detailed in a press conference held by Hatlo on Wednesday evening. This adds a concerning dimension to the case, particularly since the suspects are not known to police prior to this incident.

Police are pursuing multiple leads in their investigation, one of which includes the possibility that the attack may have been commissioned by another state. Given the target, the U.S. Embassy, this speculation underscores the seriousness of the incident and raises questions about international implications and motives behind the attack.
