| Three suspected Al-Qaeda members arrested in Norway |
| 2010-07-08 |
| THREE suspected al-Qaeda members are under arrest in what Norwegian and US officials say was a bombing plot linked to similar plans in New York and England. The 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 on today. |
