evaluation to the Police Security Service (PST) is that it has not been possible to produce additional information that supports the specific threat against Norway. Police will therefore continue to downscaling of the increased response to a level in line with PST’s last general threat assessment from February 2014.
preparedness was raised last Thursday because data indicated that there was a specific and time-limited threat Norway.
– It is the total information picture now suggests that this is not going to happen, says the PST-chief Alana Bjørnland.
When PST raised the alarm last week, it was because they had received information that a group of people were on their way from Syria to Europe. The purpose was to conduct a terrorist act, and Norway was mentioned as a possible target.
– information about the threat was not verified. We did not know if they were completely or partially correct. There was also no information about where, how or why a possible terrorist attack would be carried out, says Bjørnland. (© NTB)
