The 16-year-old who was arrested in Oslo and charged with terrorist preparations has been in custody for two weeks. According to the ruling, those classified as dangerous substances were seized when the police carried out their action and subsequent search.
PST received new information about the teenager on Wednesday. Upon assessment, the situation was deemed to be an imminent danger of terrorist attacks.
Therefore, action was already taken on Thursday.
Random victims
According to information from Dagbladet, preliminary analyzes of the seized substances will show that they can be used to produce toxins. The goal must have been to poison random people in Norway.
Dagbladet contacted the 16-year-old defender, attorney Andreas Berg Fevang, regarding the information Friday night. You write in an SMS that you cannot comment on the information, but that your client does not admit fault.
– The sentence will also be appealed, writes Fevang.
Sources tell Dagbladet that so far no evidence or indications have been found to indicate that the 16-year-old would harm government officials. Nor will firearms or similar objects be seized.
It is said that the planned terror was directed at the general population. Sources close to the investigation describe the 16-year-old’s plans as cunning. The motive must have been to create fear and panic.
Post PST: – Plan more terrorist acts
Be in the PST registry
Despite his young age, the 16-year-old should not have been a stranger to the security service. In the PST registry, the teenager, who is said to have arrived in Norway several years ago for family reunification, is already listed as a radical youth. However, there should have been no information indicating an imminent terror attack before Wednesday’s information came through.
Sources inform Dagbladet that the teenager is a staunch supporter of the IS terror group, the Islamic State, and is concerned about the caliphate. Sources further say that, among other things, computers, mobile phones and other electronic equipment have been seized, and based on these, Arabic chat logs have already been identified which, along with the chemicals, will show that the 16 – year had planned terror.
The motive should be to create fear in the Norwegian population, and several concrete ideas on how this could be done should be among the material on which the PST is building.

Chat and direct contact
The research will be oriented in the direction in which the child became radicalized through the Internet. The extensive seizure of chat logs is something that will be reviewed in the coming days and weeks.
According to information from Dagbladet, the PST must also have reason to believe that the detained child has had direct contact with people with whom he is said to have discussed terrorist acts.
