The police in Norway reported that the explosion that occurred near the United States embassy in Oslo was a «targeted attack.» The motivation behind this act remains unknown, and the authorities are continuing the search for those responsible. Grete Lien Metlid, head of the Joint Operational Services of the Oslo police, stated that an explosive device was used against the embassy. Frode Larsen, leader of the Joint Investigation and Intelligence Unit, commented on the conflict in the Middle East and suggested that it could be an attack directed at the United States embassy, although he clarified that this is not the only theory being considered. Terrorism could be one theory, but it could also be interpreted as vandalism, a prank by young people, or activism, indicating that there may be various explanations behind such an incident.
