Security guard at U.S. embassy in Oslo arrested over alleged espionage
An Oslo court has ordered a security guard at the U.S. embassy in Oslo to be held in custody for four weeks on suspicion of espionage. The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) arrested the man, a Norwegian national, on Wednesday, the same day that two Russian diplomats were expelled from Norway for alleged spying. The guard, who has not been named, is accused of passing on classified information to a foreign power. The PST has said it has no reason to believe that the guard’s actions posed any threat to Norwegian security.
