Norwegian police has said they carried out a controlled explosion of a "bomb-like object" found on Saturday night in central Oslo.
The danger was now considered to be over, but the authorities still did not know what the object was, Xinhua quoted Svein Arild Jorundland, a police commander at the site, as saying.
A suspect was detained for questioning and a large area was cordoned off after the object was found around the Gronland subway station in Oslo.
"There was a police patrol who came across a man they became interested in. In connection with him, they found a box with content that police believe is suspicious," Jorundland said earlier.
"I can not answer (if is a bomb), but it is an object that is about 30 times 30 centimetres -- that is to say there is big potential for damage, but it is of such a nature that we want the bomb group to examine it," Jorundland had said about the object.
