Police spokesperson on scene told Norwegian media that:
“Yesterday evening, the Storting received an email with a threat. It was not judged to be genuine. In retrospect, it has since received a new threat. It came to the Oslo police at 10 o’clock today…”
While there is currently no information available on the first threat, Norwegian police have confirmed to Dagbladet that the second threat, was a post on 4Chan which warned:
“Don’t go to the Storting at 10 o’clock tomorrow.”
As of this publication Norwegian police have announced that barricades will be removed by 1230L at the Parliament building and that there is currently no threat to the public.
