Summary

A Norwegian student in his 20s was arrested for allegedly spying for Russia and Iran while working as a security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo.

Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, PST, suspects him of activities damaging to national security and found evidence of his communications with a handler.

The man admitted to collecting and sharing information but denies espionage charges.

He is also a security and preparedness student at Arctic University, which has seen prior espionage cases.

Norway is increasing border security amid tensions with Russia.

        And he immediately nominated another Russian asset to head our National Intelligence community. MAGA chuds might think they won this election, but they’re just useful idiots. This victory belongs solely to Vladimir Putin.

        I dust roaches with boric acid ‘roach powder’ so they will go back to their lair and poison their friends.

          This doesn’t really work with roaches. it works really well with ants, since they drink it, feed it to their larvae, sisters and queen, who then all die. (if you dissolve it in water)

    Lol we’are about to get Russian agents in the executive branch accusing Chinese dissidents of being CCP spies, while simultaneously allow actual CCP spies to stay and harass dissidents.

    Just become president and you can speak to your handler with no fear of being charged.

      The 4d chess version of this story. Money is the universal solvent for problems.

    I mean, look at our next president. This is over. There’s no need to worry any longer about spies. We are fully compromised. America has been sold to Russia.

    I don’t remember when, but I’m sure this happened a while ago, as I remember reading about it in our domestic papers. August, maybe? A few months ago, at least.

    EDIT: Ah, I see he admitted to it. I guess that’s the update. The arrest was, as mentioned, long ago.
