Norway police neutralize bomb outside Oslo subway station, suspect arrested
The next round of elections across Europe is going to be very interesting. This isn't just something that happens in bad neighbourhoods anymore.
[IsraelTimes] Police in the Norwegian capital of Oslo said they neutralized an bomb found in a busy area of downtown Oslo late Saturday night and said they had tossed in the calaboose
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
a suspect.

Police Chief Vidar Pedersen confirmed that the device, initially described as "bomb-like," was an explosive. The police Twitter account said it had been defused or neutralized.

Police would not give any details about the suspect, or further information about the device.

Pedersen said the device was found on the street just outside the Groenland underground station, and police swept through the area to remove people from bars and restaurants.

"Every restaurant was being closed," said 23-year-old Malin Myrvold, who witnessed the scene from a fourth-story window. "You could see cops in heavy armor going in every store and restaurant.

"We were trying to see what was going on. The police were screaming at us to get back inside and stay where we were," she added by telephone.

Norway was put on high alert after neighboring Sweden suffered a truck attack in the capital that killed four people and injured 15.

The Norwegian incident happened less than a mile from the government buildings that were damaged in a deadly kaboom carried out by right wing krazed killer Anders Breivik in 2011. That bomb and a subsequent gun massacre killed a total of 77 people.
