A large explosion has hit near government headquarters in the
Norwegian capital Oslo.
The blast is thought to have caused damage to the offices of
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and a number of other
official buildings.
Initial reports suggested Mr Stoltenberg was unharmed.
At least eight people were injured in the city centre explosion,
local media reports. No-one has said they were behind the
attack.
Television footage from the scene showed rubble and glass from
shattered windows in the streets - smoke was around some buildings.
The wreckage of at least one car was in street.
All roads into the city centre have been closed, said the NRK
newspaper.
No word yet on who is responsible, but it’s probably worth
noting that Norweigian authorities stopped an al Qaeda plot last
year, and
just last week filed terror charges against Ansar al-Islam
founder Mullah Krekar for threatening Norweigian politicians with
death if he is deported.
