Abandoned case causes security alert in Oslo

Parts of Oslo's central railway station were evacuated when police were called to investigate an abandoned suitcase, the Norwegian Railway Authority said.

Yesterday's scare came as the country was placed on a high state of alert following the twin terrorist attacks.

An official said the luggage was found in the area where buses depart for Oslo's airport.

Police sealed off the area and examined the abandoned case.

Police in Oslo are taking every precaution after the atrocity in the capital last Friday.

Meanwhile, cabinet ministers were due to return to their offices today after the car bombing.

However, for now prime minister Jens Stoltenberg will work from the defence ministry and cabinet meetings will be held in a medieval fort near the capital's waterfront.

It is uncertain whether the PM's office building will be rebuilt or demolished.
