In Oslo, three brothers who are Iraqi-origin Norwegian citizens have been arrested following an explosion that occurred near the entrance of the US embassy's consular services. Occurring late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, the blast resulted in no injuries and only caused minor damage to the embassy building itself. Law enforcement officials are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and the motives behind it.

According to prosecutor Kristian Hatlo, the authorities are exploring several hypotheses regarding the motivation for the attack. One theory suggests the involvement of a foreign government agency, which is being considered given the nature of the target—the US embassy—and the current global security climate. This raises questions about potential international conspiracies linked to the act, given the sensitive geopolitical context in which such actions take place.

Furthermore, it is asserted by Hatlo that one of the suspects is believed to have directly placed the explosive device, while the other two are considered accomplices in the act. The Norwegian Security Service (PST) had indicated in its recent threat assessment that Iran is viewed as one of the primary threats to Norway, which adds a layer of complexity to the investigation as the motives and possible connections to criminal networks are further explored. The situation remains under scrutiny as investigations progress to ascertain the full scope of the incident.
