Norwegian officials announce the original threat. Yahoo/Reuters
Norwegian officials believe that a group of Islamic militants from Syria are heading to Europe, possibly Norway, to commit a terror attack. Yahoo/Reuters The officials refuse to comment if they were Norwegian citizens or other Europeans. The threat was first announced Thursday and heightened security continues in Oslo and other Norwegian cites.
My Comment:
I posted about this yesterday and I mentioned how extremely rare this kind of warning is. This second story is, as far as I can tell, unprecedented. Norway must have some very specific and credible information about a plot for this kind of reaction. Let's hope that their national security is up to snuff.
It's also worth noting that the article stated that Norway has arrested ISIS operatives before. It's possible that ISIS is expanding their operations into Europe, which is of course the worst case scenario. We will all have to see how this one plays out...
