The Oslo Bombing: A Closed Case? The Norwegian police were released from punishment on their own initiative after being found guilty of involvement in the planning of a bombing explosion against the Swedish embassy in Oslo. The suspicions were that the police had collaborated with the Swede who was credited with the explosion. However, after a lengthy and intense investigation, the conclusion was reached that nothing could be proven for this. As a result, Norwegian Justice Minister Nils Nygård made the decision to punish three policemen. The punishment consisted of five months in prison. It was a surprise to many and was blamed as a fate for the accused. One of the accused has told the news channel SVT that he is not worried about what he was sentenced to. He believed that justice had found "the legal basis" for his case and that he had nothing to do with the actual bombing. Suspicions were raised in August when the police came forward with the case against three policemen, including the leading policeman. However, after a lengthy investigation, it emerged that nothing could be proven, and suspicions were withdrawn. Perhaps not surprisingly, much has been done wrong in this case, and many think that the punishment is too harsh. See article on SVT News.
