The arrest was part of a coordinated action where a Norwegian student was also arrested in Bulgaria, the Police Security Service (PST) informs. The man who was arrested in Oslo will be brought before the Oslo District Court on Wednesday afternoon. Police attorney Thomas Blom is leading the imprisonment case for PST. A man is charged with participating in a terrorist organization, more specifically section 136a of the Criminal Code, which applies to “anyone who forms, participates in, recruits members or provides financial or other material support to a terrorist organization”.
