Norway police neutralize explosive device, arrest suspect
STAVANGER, Norway (AP) -- Police in the Norwegian capital of Oslo said they neutralized an explosive device found in a busy area of downtown Oslo late Saturday night and said they had arrested a suspect.
Police Chief Vidar Pedersen confirmed that the device, initially described as "bomb-like," was an explosive. The police Twitter account said it had been defused or neutralized.
Police would not give any details about the suspect, or further information about the device.
Pedersen said the device was found on the street just outside the Groenland underground station, and police swept through the area to remove people from bars and restaurants.
Norway was put on high alert after neighboring Sweden suffered a truck attack in the capital that killed four people and injured 15. The suspect in Friday's attack, a 39-year-old native of Uzbekistan, has been arrested. It was unclear whether he was also a Swedish citizen or resident or even how long he'd been in the country.
Apartment building collapses in Poland:
6 killed, 4 injured
WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- A pre-World War II apartment house collapsed Saturday in southwestern Poland, leaving six people dead and four injured, authorities said.
Scores of firefighters with dogs continued to search the rubble of the building in the town of Swiebodzice (Shvyeh-'boh-tchi-tseh), to make sure no one remained trapped.
According to Daniel Mucha, regional spokesman for the firefighters, the two upper floors of the three-floor building might have collapsed due to a gas explosion. A team of construction experts were to investigate the cause.
The rescue management center said the body of a sixth victim was found late Saturday. Two of the dead were school-age children.
Prime Minister Beata Szydlo arrived late Saturday at the site, 420 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Warsaw, to talk with the victims and the rescue workers.
The injured were taken to hospitals in Swiebodzice and in Wroclaw.
