Norwegian authorities say terrorists had planned to bomb US and Israeli embassies
Four men suspected in connection with an attack on an Oslo synagogue are also accused of plotting to blow up the US and Israeli embassies, and killing Israel's ambassador, media reports said Friday.
The four were arrested Tuesday in connection with an attack on the Mosaic Religious Community synagogue. The Jewish house of worship was hit with at least 10 bullets early Sunday. No one was injured.
Police said Thursday that charges against them were being expanded to include plotting terrorism but gave no other details. They were seeking a court order Friday to continue holding the men for questioning.
Defense attorney Vegard Aaloekken confirmed to the state radio network NRK that the new charges include allegations of a terror plot against embassies.
The charges were in part based on recordings from an electronic bug in one suspect's car, NRK and other major Norwegian news media said.
NRK and other major Norwegian news media said the suspects discussed blowing up the embassies and decapitating the Israeli ambassador to Norway, Miriam Shomrat.
"There is something about gathering weapons and that buildings were to be blown up," he told NRK, refusing to say more.
"We are deeply concerned about the emerging information on these planned terrorist attacks in Norway," US Ambassador Ben K. Whitney said in a statement. "We are watching developments closely."
Police have been tightlipped about the investigation and refused to disclose names and personal details about the four suspects, other than saying they all are in their 20s.
One of the suspects, a 29-year-old Norwegian of Pakistani descent, was briefly held in Germany in June on suspicion of planning an act of terrorism against the soccer World Cup.
He was released without charges. He also was charged last week with firing gunshots at the home of a Norwegian journalist in Oslo earlier this year, reports said.
A Big HMMMMMMMMM.
It seems that in every country in the EU (and elsewhere), Jews and Christians are in dire peril,
and the gov'ts do nothing ......
except help, fund, support and condone the terrorists/murderers.
Norway does not allow kosher meat into the country, and did not even allow any Jews in until the late 19th century. And of course, there is the matter of Mr. Quisling.
This is a nation of anti-semites. Is it any wonder they did nothing?
No mention of TROP.
Don't know if it will actually do any good, but the weight of the pistol on the hip is actually necessary to balance now. I walk in a circle without it.
Strange... not a word in The New York Times or Boston Globe /sarcasm
Sickening! That is one place I will never go visit!
Another damned Pakistani!
It's almost ALWAYS a Pakistani or recent visitor to Pakistan.
If EVER a country should be recognized for breeding toxic assholes - it should be Pakistan..
A sane nation would forbid the entry of any Pakistani who will not publicly refute any attachment or allegiance to Islam...

How long? How long before we get serious with these "people"? They need to be booted out of every country they're in and sent back to their own lands. Period.

That's ok, we pretty much know they are all Muslim men aged 18-45.
Wow! I didn't know that. Do they allow "halal" meat? (Or is that a silly question...)
One of whom, according to another post, was the son of an employee of the Royal Palace and grew up on the palace grounds. One of them is described as a "native Norwegian," although I don't know if this means Pakistani born in Norway or a person of Norwegian descent. They're very coy about these things.
I can almost guarantee you, you won't find a blonde haired blue eyed one in the bunch...
Large nosed, darker skin, lots of body hair... will probably be a common physical trait among them... regardless of their birthplace.
what is kosher?
ROFL I shouldn't laugh because you are so correct.

Actually, you're both a tad over-the-top. I know plenty of Pakistanis: none of them are terrorists. They play a mean game of cricket, they make an awesome curry, and for the most part they are law-abiding and positive contributing members of society.
You could just as easily say "If EVER a country should be recognized for breeding mass murderers and child molesters -- it should be America." It would resonate with the same ring of truth, but be a grossly unfair generalization all the same.
Yet....
If they're pious Muslims - they are by order of the Koran obligated to lie to you, avoid endangering themselves until from a position of strength they can convert, tax or kill you..
You may deal with that in a manner that satisfies you..
As will I.
I have meet a significant number of Pakistanis in both social and business situations -- here in America, in Europe and in the Middle East.. To date, retired after more than 40 years doing business abroad - I haven't met a single one I could or would trust completely in a business or life threatening situation... NOT ONE.
I find that significant -- especially when I haven't encountered that same doubt or mistrust when dealing with Persians, Turks, Jews or Indian Hindu/Sikh Good luck, and stay safe....
As an aside -- one of the finest evenings I ever spent in Kyoto - was after my good fortune of running into two Diesel Generator Engineers from New Zealand in the bar of the Miyako Hotel, who REALLY knew their way "around town" and took me in tow...
It damned near killed me!
