"We are still working from several hypotheses. One of them is whether this is an order from a government entity. This is quite natural given the target – the US embassy – and the security situation the world is in today."
"We believe that one of them is the person who placed the bomb outside the embassy and that the other two were complicit in the act. Police were not ruling out links to criminal networks."
"The Norwegian security service PST said in its annual threat assessment last month that Iran, which it considers one of the main threats to Norway, could rely on proxy actors including criminal networks to commit acts."
Three Norwegian brothers in their 20s, of Iraqi origin, were arrested following a bombing at the US embassy in Oslo that caused minor damage but no injuries. Police believe one brother placed the bomb while the other two were complicit. Investigators are exploring multiple hypotheses, including whether a government entity ordered the attack, given the embassy target and current global security situation. The brothers were not previously known to police. Authorities are also investigating possible links to criminal networks. The Norwegian security service previously identified Iran as a main threat, noting it could use proxy actors including criminal networks for attacks. The bombing occurred early Sunday morning at the embassy's consular section entrance.
