OSLO, Feb 10: Norway’s embassy in Kabul was closed on Sunday after receiving a threat less than a month after Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere narrowly escaped an attack there, an official said.

“We have received a threat. We are taking it seriously and have taken security measures. The embassy has been closed,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Kristin Melsom said.—AFP
