Norwegian police have released surveillance images of a suspect linked to an explosion outside the US embassy in Oslo on Sunday. The explosion, caused by an improvised device, resulted in minor damage but no injuries. The suspect is shown in pixelated images wearing dark clothing, concealing their face, and carrying a backpack. Investigators are also examining a now-deleted Google Maps video featuring Iran's Supreme Leader, published around the time of the incident. The investigation is being treated as high priority, with authorities appealing to the public for information about the suspect or any unusual activity in the area. The US State Department is also investigating the incident, which Norwegian authorities have deemed "unacceptable."
