"It's natural to see this in the context of the current security situation and that this could be an attack deliberately targeting the US embassy. One of our hypotheses is that this is terrorism, but we are also exploring other options. But we are not completely stuck on that. We have to be open to the possibility that there may be other causes behind what has happened."
"No suspects have been identified, but police are searching for one or several perpetrators and are cooperating closely with the embassy. Norway's government was in contact with officials at the embassy to convey that this was an unacceptable act that we take very seriously."
A blast occurred at the US embassy compound in western Oslo at 1am local time, producing thick smoke near the consular section entrance.
