ARTICLE SNIPPET: "OSLO, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Four men charged with firing shots at an Oslo synagogue at the weekend have also been accused of plotting to blow up the U.S. and Israeli embassies in Oslo, an attorney for one of the accused said on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, Oslo police said they had expanded their charges against the four men arrested on Tuesday to include a charge of terrorism, but they gave no further details and they declined to confirm or deny the attorney's remarks.
"The police say that they (the accused men) were talking about blowing up the embassies -- the American and Israeli embassies," attorney Vegard Aaloekken told Reuters.
He said his client, a 28-year-old man of Turkish background, denied involvement in both the synagogue shooting incident on Sunday and the alleged embassy plot."

4 including a Norwegian Pakistani arrested in Jewish Temple`s shooting in Oslo

Oslo: A 29-year-old Pakistani origin man with links to the criminal A-gang is among the four suspects arrested on Tuesday and charged with firing on Oslo`s synagogue last weekend, Aftenposten`s Norwegian reported.
The man was arrested in Germany this summer, suspected of participating in the planning of a terrorist attack on the soccer World Cup there. He was released quickly.
Last week he was arrested again, this time charged with threats against crime journalist Nina Johnsrud from the newspaper Dagsavisen.
Police suspect him of having something to do with shots having been fired against her house this summer, but he was released after 24 hours.
The man`s lawyer, John Christian Elden, denied any involvement in the synagogue shooting on the part of his client. In addition to the 29-year-old, who is of Pakistani extraction, Oslo police and the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) have arrested three others.
"The four have different ethnic backgrounds," said police inspector Iver Stensrud, head of the Oslo police`s section for organized crime. He did not rule out further arrests.
Charges in the case are vandalism, violation of the Weapons Act and reckless handling of a firearm. The four suspects were arrested in various spots in downtown Oslo and the city`s suburbs between 5 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

UPDATE:
Norway taped plot to blow up U.S. embassy
By Camilla Bergsli
1 hour, 15 minutes ago
OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian prosecutors unveiled on Friday evidence against four men detained on suspicion of plotting to blow up the U.S. and Israeli embassies and of participating in a shooting at the Oslo synagogue last weekend.
Prosecutor Unni Fries told a court the Norwegian secret services had bugged the car of the main suspect and recorded conversations between the men planning the attacks.
"They spoke in detail about how to attack the synagogue and the U.S. and Israeli embassies," Fries said, asking the court to detain all four suspects for four weeks without visitors or other contact with the outside world.
Early on Sunday morning at least 10 shots fired from an automatic weapon hit Oslo's only synagogue. No one was hurt in the shooting, the most serious in a string of attacks in recent months on the Nordic country's small Jewish community.
Police have identified the detainees only as men between the ages of 20 and 30. Defense lawyers, who said their clients were innocent, said one suspect was of Turkish origin, two had Pakistani backgrounds and one was a native Norwegian.
Fries said the main suspect had "expressed extreme Islamist views" and was briefly detained during this summer's World Cup by German police, who found drawings of rockets in his car.
During a trip to Britain in June he was reported to have told his girlfriend over the telephone that he "felt that he had to act," Fries said. She did not say whether prosecutors were linking the suspects with any extremist organization.
The U.S. embassy said in a statement that it was watching developments closely and would cooperate fully with Norwegian authorities.
"We are deeply concerned about the emerging information on these planned terrorist attacks," ambassador Ben Whitney said. "This situation reflects the importance of having the necessary legal tools to prevent terrorism."
The four men could face jail terms of up to 12 years if convicted of conspiring to carry out acts of terror.
