    Mother and three sons in custody over US embassy bomb in Norway

    -

    OSLO, March ‌13 (Reuters) - Three brothers and ​their mother have been remanded in ⁠police custody for up to four weeks on suspicion of ​taking part in the bombing of ‌the U.S. embassy in Oslo last week, a Norwegian court said ⁠in a ruling on ⁠Friday.

    The U.S. embassy was hit by an explosion on Sunday and police later said they ‌had apprehended the suspects, accusing ⁠them of a "terror bombing" ‌intended to kill ​or cause significant damage.

    The powerful early-morning blast from an improvised ‌explosive device (IED) damaged the ​entrance to ⁠the embassy's consular section but ‌caused no ⁠injuries, Norwegian authorities have said.

    One of the men has admitted to ​placing a ‌device, while the three other suspects ⁠have denied involvement, ​their lawyers have said.
