Norway police neutralize explosive device, arrest suspect

STAVANGER, Norway (AP) — Police in the Norwegian capital of Oslo said they neutralized an explosive device found in a busy area of downtown Oslo late Saturday night and said they had arrested 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.

Pederson 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.
