[Iran Press TV] Norwegian authorities have ordered the evacuation of the US embassy in Oslo and an area in the center of the capital following the discovery of a suspicious object under a vehicle nearby.
"The Oslo police bomb squad has removed the object and can confirm that it was a dummy bomb," the News Agency that Dare Not be Named cited a police statement on Tuesday.
"The car has been used for an internal drill at the embassy, and the find can be connected to this," the statement said.
The discovery of the device by security guards also led to the evacuation of the royal palace, the halting of subway traffic in the area, and the cancellation of an international children's soccer game at nearby Voldslokka Stadium so that the police could use the field for helicopters.
Norway has stepped up security after last year's bomb and gun carnage by anti-Islam terrorist Anders Behring Breivik.
On July 22, 2011, Breivik set off a car boom outside government buildings in Oslo, killing eight people, before going to Utoeya Island, northwest of the capital, where he shot and killed another 69 people, mostly teenagers.

Iran is accusing Israel of carrying out the July 18 suicide bombing in Bulgaria that killed seven (including five Israelis). There is a growing pile of evidence that Iran was behind the attack, in an effort to strike back at Israel for the many successful Israeli assaults against Iran's nuclear weapons program in the last two years. Iran has openly vowed to strike back, and Israel claims that Iran has agents in 24 countries trying to organize attacks.
In the last year, Iranians have been arrested in eight countries and charged with planning terrorism against Israel. Documents, weapons and explosives have often been seized as well. Iran denies everything, but the pattern is embarrassing.
Bulgarian and Israeli investigators have tracked the July 18th attacks to a team that had spent at least a month in Bulgaria setting things up. It is believed that Iran used Hezbollah personnel to help organize this operation. The bomber appears to be a European (he had fair skin and blue eyes) who had been hired to smuggle drugs and that the bomb was set off remotely by the terrorist team that hired him. The bomber had no police record.
The bomb was apparently set off prematurely because the bomber (who had the bomb in his backpack) had gotten into an argument over wanting to carry his bag onto the bus instead of keeping in the cargo area under the passenger compartment. The bomber was carrying fake American documents and remains unidentified. How do they know he has no record if he's unidentified? Jim Dunnigan's Strategypage articles are good, but full of errors like this. At least he stopped writing wargame rulebooks.
