Last night the police cordoned off an area directly around the Storting after having received a bomb scare. The police cordon was ended at 1230 Tuesday 13 February after a person suspected of making the threats was arrested. Business in the Storting, including the sitting in the Chamber, is taking place as usual today. All entrances are open. This includes the public entrance on Karl Johans gate, which will be open during today’s sitting.
