Man arrested near Norway PM with knife

OSLO, July 23, (AFP) - Norwegian police arrested a young man carrying a knife Saturday at a hotel where Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was visiting survivors of a shooting rampage that left 84 dead, broadcaster NRK said.

The suspect said he had a knife in his pocket “because he did not feel safe,” an NRK reporter said.

The same source said the young man was a member of the Labour party’s youth wing. The victims were all attending a summer camp run by the Labour party’s youth wing on an island near Oslo when a gunman wearing a police uniform opened fire.

Police could not be reached for an immediate comment.
