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)

              sry, nvm, I confused boric acid and borax, which kills insects by solidifying inside their bodies.

      Countries are always spying on each other, particularly their embassies.
