The Oslo District Court arrested a 17-year-old Russian for two weeks, who was detained after he left an object similar to a home-made explosive device in the city center. It is reported by NRK.
New Gazeta previously reported that the detainee was a native of the North Caucasus. The Russian embassy in Norway also stated that the young man refuses to meet with Russian diplomats.
The teenager was detained after he left an object similar to an explosive device in Oslo. He was charged with storing explosives. It is not known the police whether he planned a terrorist attack and whether he had accomplices.
The police said that he arrived in Norway with his family in 2010. They asked to provide them with asylum. The country's security service said that the teenager was "entering the circle of extreme Islamists." His lawyer claimed that the Russian condemns the activities of the “Islamic state”, and what happened was “boyish pranks”.
