Three brothers, Norwegian citizens in their 20s with ties to Iraq, have been arrested in Norway in connection to an explosion outside the US embassy in Oslo on Sunday.

The explosion caused minor damage, with no reported injuries.

The incident is being treated as a high priority, with both Norwegian and US authorities investigating.
