There was once time when this country was never mentioned unless it had something to do
with a discovery of Viking helmets found in the ground, cold deep fjords, self-assembly
furniture or an evergreen forest in a Beatles song.
Heavily armoured officers evacuated diners from nearby restaurants to
examine the suspicious device, and a man has been arrested.
'Police in Norway have detonated an explosive device which was left on
a busy commercial street in the centre of Oslo.
A large area was cordoned off following the security alert in the Norwegian
capital on Saturday night.

Investigators said the explosive was discovered outside Groenland underground
station, and heavily armoured officers swept through the surrounding area to
evacuate people from bars and restaurants.
When asked about the controlled explosion, a police spokesman said:
"The noise from the blast was louder than our explosives themselves
would cause."
Enquiries are continuing at the scene, but detectives believe the explosive
was capable of causing only a limited amount of damage.
One man has been arrested and is being held in custody, but officers have
refused to give any further information about the suspect.
The Groenland area is a multi-ethnic neighbourhood which is home to several
popular bars and restaurants. Oslo's main police station lies less than a kilometre
away from where the explosive device was found.
Malin Myrvold, who saw the police activity unfold from the fourth floor of a nearby
building, said: "Every restaurant was being closed.
You could see cops in heavy armour going in every store and restaurant...'
