OSLO, Norway (AP) – A Norwegian student in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia and Iran while working as a guard at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, authorities in Norway have said.
The man, who has not been identified, was ordered to be held in custody for four weeks. He runs a security company jointly with a dual national of Norway and an unspecified eastern European country, according to Norwegian public broadcaster NRK.
Oslo police said Friday they would review the company’s operating license.
Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, PST, said Thursday night that the man was arrested in his garage at home on Wednesday on suspicion of having damaged national security with his intelligence-related activity.

Whatever happened to US Marines guarding US embassies around the world.
We hire a norwegian/commie’f firm to “guard” our embassy? What idiot did that and how did Congress fund it?
Dual citizens should not be permitted to work in. Gov.
Very often the host country will provide external security at a foreign embassy.
Unless I missed it, the article does not mention whether this guy was hired by Norway or by the United States.
Yes- wondering about it. The State Dept. once again fostering the advancement of the Left worldwide. The fact this was in Norway is of course huge— Norway/Nato and the Russian sub incursions and hunt downs by joint US/Norwegian Navy operations. (and the recent reveal of USS Virginia’s ripping away a Norwegian trawler’s nets- not something US would ordinarily expose publicly but simply pay off the trawler owners for replacement. Sub service is slipping in the “silent” department).
Why I am not a big fan of “dual-citizenship”.
Dual-citizen? - sounds about ready to run for Congress.
I always wonder why these sort of incidents don’t prompt a response to the nation perpetrators.
