挪威和德国逮捕了三名涉嫌基地组织的成员。挪威和美国当局说，这三人涉嫌从事类似美国和英国的恐怖攻击的阴谋。
其中两名男子在挪威 被拘捕，另一个在德国落网。他们在被当局监视了一年多之后被逮捕。
挪威警方说，逮捕这三名嫌疑人是因为有关调查的消息即将在国际媒体上公 布。他们没有说哪一个国家是这起被挫败的恐怖袭击目标。
嫌疑人中一人是维吾尔裔挪威公民，另外两个是伊拉克和乌兹别克斯坦人。
官 员们相信，这3人计划发动一起类似去年在纽约市袭击地铁系统所涉及的便携但威力强大的爆炸装置。英国城市曼彻斯特曾破获了类似的阴谋。
Three suspected al-Qaida members have been arrested in Norway and Germany, in what Norwegian and U.S. authorities say was a terrorist plot linked to similar ones in the United States and Britain.
Two of the men were arrested in Norway and one in Germany. They were taken into custody Thursday after being under surveillance for more than a year.
Norwegian police said the arrests were made because news of the investigation was about to be published in the international media. They did not say which country was the target of the foiled plot.
One of the men was identified as a Norwegian of Uighur origin. The others included an Uzbek and an Iraqi.
Officials believe the three were planning attacks with portable but powerful explosive devices like the ones involved in last year's thwarted attack on the New York City subway system. A similar plot was broken up in the English city of Manchester.
