Three people have been arrested in connection with a plot to bomb targets in Norway, police in Oslo have said.

Two of the plotters were arrested in Norway and one in Germany, said the head of the Norwegian security police, Janne Kristiansen.

The men - a Uighur from China, an Iraqi and an Uzbek - are said to have ties to al-Qaeda and to be linked to bomb plots in the US and UK, Ms Kristiansen said.

The three, all Norwegian residents, had been under surveillance for a year.

3. Norway is part of the occupying force in Afghanistan

because our government subscribes to the American right-wing idea of believing that democracy can be created if you just occupy a country with no institutions or infrastructure long enough.


Naturally, our PM said that this should be seen as a crime, and that individuals are responsible for crimes. In other words, no connection.


Four Norwegian marines from our Coastal Ranger Command were killed there last week, by the way.

Maybe they should worry about their own countries.

8. Norway needs to rethink their stupid refugee policy.

Sounds like a big chunk of the refugees given sanctuary in Norway are criminals fleeing prosecution in their home countries.
