Three suspected al-Qaida members are under arrest in what Norwegian and US officials say was a bombing plot linked to similar plans in New York and England
Three suspected al-Qaida members are under arrest in what Norwegian and US officials say was a bombing plot linked to similar plans in New York and England.
US and Norway had been watching the three men for more than a year and say they planned a bombing similar to the one thwarted in the New York subway system last year.
US Attorney General Eric Holder has called that one of the most serious terrorist plots since 9/11. Yesterday, US prosecutors revealed the existence of a related plot in England.
The Norwegian Police Security Service says only that the three were arrested on suspicion of "preparing terror activities."
A news conference was planned for later today. Other officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the case.
