Three people have been arrested in connection with a plot to bomb targets in Norway, police in Oslo have said.

Two of the plotters were arrested in Norway and one in Germany, said the head of the Norwegian security police, Janne Kristiansen.

The men - a Uighur from China, an Iraqi and an Uzbek - are said to have ties to al-Qaeda and to be linked to bomb plots in the US and UK, Ms Kristiansen said.

The three, all Norwegian residents, had been under surveillance for a year.

US prosecutors say the Norwegian case is linked to foiled bomb plots in New York and the English city of Manchester.

"We believe this group has had links to people abroad who can be linked to al-Qaeda, and to people who are involved in investigations in other countries, among others the United States and Britain," Ms Kristiansen said.

She said one of the men was a Norwegian citizen, 39, a Muslim Uighur from China, who had lived in Norway since 1999.

Another was an Iraqi citizen, 37, who was granted Norwegian residency on humanitarian grounds.

Norwegians are coming to terms with the fact that their country can no longer be considered a neutral peace facilitator, immune to international terror threats

The third man was an Uzbek national, 31, who was granted permanent residency in Norway on grounds of family reunification, Ms Kristiansen said.

Most of the participants on the youth summer camp are 14 - 18 years old.
4 people are said to have been killed at the camp, the perpetrator has been caught by the police.

Although Scandinavian countries have reputations as liberal havens, there is a long list of groups with grievances who could have carried out the lethal bombing in the centre of Oslo.
Sky News security editor Sam Kiley pointed out that the target - offices of the Government in the centre of town - made it likely that the bomber or bombers were seeking to make a political point rather than kill the maximum number of people.
"This was not an attack on something more vulnerable such as a railway or a crowded shopping mall, this was an attack at the heart of the Norwegian body politic," he said.
"It is clearly designed to send a very powerful political message."
He said groups including the Tamil Tigers and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had cause to hold a grudge against Norwegian authorities.
Norway has also been very active in the Nato-led operation against Muammar Gaddafi's forces in Libya, and has sent troops to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan.
At home, Kiley said, authorities have - like those in Britain - been trying to get immigrants to the country to conform more to the Norwegian way of life amid concerns home-grown terrorists may pose a threat.
Two suspects are currently in a Norwegian jail awaiting charges relating to a suspected al Qaeda-style terror plot.
Last week, a prosecutor there filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he is deported.
The indictment followed statements made by Mullah Krekar, the founder of Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al Islam, to various news media outfits.
Kiley added that if it were proven that a car bomb or bombs had caused the devastation it would point security services in the direction of those behind it.
"A car bomb can deliver a very large amount of home-made explosive," he said.
"You could probably get at least a tonne of high explosive in it and you also have the secondary explosive of the fuel in the car.
"It can be an absolutely devastating weapon."

Norway the offices of the newspaper VG just next to the Government office also heavily damaged, they published the Danish cartoons, and with the war in Afghanistan Iraq and the Nato operation in Libya all with Norway doing their little bit, plenty of reasons for lunatics and previous threats issued against Norway.

Chances that this is an fanatical islamic terrorist attack are quite big, but nothing certain as yet.

Bad day, and RIP to the dead
