OSLO - The terrorist suspect, Michael Davud, who was arrested in July with two others, has confessed that he had planned to blow up the Chinese embassy building in Oslo, lawyer Carl Rieber-Mohn told a Norwegian TV reporter on Tuesday.
The three suspects -- Michael Davud, David Jakobsen and Shawan Saeed Sadek Bujak -- are now likely to be charged with having formed an alliance for committing terrorist acts on Norwegian soil.
Bujak has reportedly confessed that he and the other two were planning terrorist actions against the Danish newspaper Jyllands- Posten.
The Norwegian secret police PST, after closely monitoring an Oslo apartment used by Michael Davud, came to know that the three men were in the process of making a powerful bomb with hydrogen peroxide.
The PST said that the three suspects, who were arrested separately in Norway and Germany on July 8, 2010, have connections to al-Qaida.
The 39-year-old Davud, the presumed mastermind in the terror case, came to Norway in 1999 and became a Norwegian citizen in 2007.
