Norway raises terror threat level to ‘high’

The terror threat level in the Scandinavian country was raised due to fears over threats against Jewish and Israeli targets.

Norway’s PST intelligence agency raises its terror threat level to “high,” over threats against Jewish, Israeli targets. They fear repercussions in the Scandinavian country from escalating tensions in the Middle East, reports The Times of Israel.

“We are raising the threat level from moderate to high in Norway due to several factors, primarily the current escalation in the Middle East,” the PST says, adding that “Jewish and Israeli targets” are most under threat in Norway.
