Teen asylum-seeker ID’d as suspect in Norway explosive case

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A 17-year-old asylum-seeker from Russia was arrested Sunday in connection with an explosive device found near a busy subway station in Norway’s capital that police defused before it detonated, authorities said.

 

The youth was detained on suspicion of handling explosives, but investigators do not know if he planned to carry out an attack with the homemade device, Signe Aaling, chief prosecutor for Norway’s PST security service, said.

 

Aaling described the explosive as “a primitive improvised explosive device with limited damage potential.”

 

“PST is now working on finding his intentions and find out whether others are involved,” she said.

 

The youth was not identified, but security service head Benedicte Bjornland said Norwegian intelligence was aware of him. He is an asylum-seeker from Russia who arrived in Norway with his family in 2010, Bjornland said.
