Three people have been arrested in Norway on suspicion of preparing terrorist attacks.
Unnamed Norwegian and US officials told the Associated Press that the men were members of al-Qaeda and had been under surveillance for a year.
They said it was not clear whether the men had selected a target, but they were attempting to make peroxide bombs.
The BBC's security correspondent says Norway may have been targeted because it has troops in Afghanistan.
"The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has today, July 8, 2010, arrested three people suspected of preparing acts of terror," the PST said in a statement on its website.
