Russia is the main security threat for all of Europe and will remain so for a long time, Norway's intelligence officials said Monday, warning that recent burnings of Islam's holy book in Scandinavia could possibly lead to terror attacks in the country.
"Russia today poses the biggest threat to Norwegian and European security, and the confrontation with the West will be long-lasting," said Defence Minister Bjorn Arild Gram.Arild Gram made the remark after the government received the annual threat assessments from Norway's three security services: the domestic and the foreign intelligence agencies and the Norwegian National Security Authority, or NSM.
"Norway is now Europe's most important energy supplier after Russia ended its gas exports to the West," said Nordrum. But PST assessed that it's unlikely Russia would carry out any sabotage operation on Norwegian soil this year. On Feb. 2, police in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, had barred a group to stage a protest outside the Turkish Embassy that would have involved setting a fire a copy of the Quran on grounds that security could not be ensured "in a satisfactory manner" at the event.
