Iran Press/ Europe: According to the national broadcaster NRK, police said that a threatening e-mail was received on Tuesday evening, which was initially dismissed as non-credible.
However, a subsequent threat emerged on Wednesday morning, prompting serious concern from law enforcement.
The police have sealed off all entrances to the parliament amid ongoing investigations to ascertain any links between the two threats.
As a precaution, the vicinity around the building was also cordoned off from as early as 10 am Wednesday.
The security measures have significantly impacted traffic flow and public transport services around the parliamentary building.
In response to the situation, all parliament members were promptly informed of the threats via text messages.
A parliament spokesperson said it was not possible to enter the building and public audiences had left the building while police were investigating the matter.
Norway's Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl voiced her trust in the authorities' capability to manage the situation effectively.
