There was no claim of responsibility, though NATO member Norway has been the target of threats, if not bombs, before, notably over its involvement in conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was safe, NTB said.

Nearby ministries were also hit, including the oil ministry, which was on fire. Heavy debris littered the streets.
