Three al-Qaida Suspects Arrested in Norway and Germany
Category World | Thursday, July 8th, 2010Three suspected al-Qaida members have been arrested in Norway and Germany, in what Norwegian and U.S. authorities say was a terrorist plot linked to similar ones in the United States and Britain.
Two of the men were arrested in Norway and one in Germany. They were taken into custody Thursday after being under surveillance for more than a year.
Norwegian police said the arrests were made because news of the investigation was about to be published in the international media. They did not say which country was the target of the foiled plot.
