Norway police neutralize explosive device, arrest suspect

STAVANGER, Norway (AP) — An explosive device found by a busy subway station in the Norwegian capital forced police to evacuate late night bars and restaurants, but officials said the device was neutralized and a suspect arrested.

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

Norway police neutralize explosive device, arrest suspect

Norway was put on high alert after neighboring Sweden suffered a truck attack in the capital that killed four people and injured 15. The suspect in Friday's attack, a 39-year-old native of Uzbekistan, has been arrested. It was unclear whether he was also a Swedish citizen or resident or even how long he'd been in the country.

So they think it's the same guy ?

Title says suspect arrested, but the article mentions nothing other than the Swedish arrest and gives (relatively) lot of coverage regarding that for the short article. Would have been better to say 'so they think it is linked' perhaps.

No, you missed the "Norway was put on high alert after neighbouring Sweden..." part.

Very well. I saw that, but just thought that at least something, however limited, would have been said about the arrest in Norway.

Anyway:

Norwegian police have detonated an explosive device found in central Oslo, and a suspect is being held in custody, the police said on their official Twitter account on Saturday.

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 neutralised.

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