(Local) Norway’s police security agency PST has arrested a man after linking him to Islamic fundamentalism.
The man, who lives in Oslo and is in his thirties, was arrested last weekend. He is reported to have made “Islamist-motivated” threats against media organisations and individuals, broadcaster NRK reports.
He will appear at Oslo City Court on Tuesday with regard to preliminary detention.
Although PST’s senior advisor Martin Bernsen declined to comment on whether the man was previously known to the security agency, he does not have any prior convictions.
Bernsen said that PST became involved in the case due to the nature of the threats and who they were made by.
