A 27-year-old Norwegian man, who worked as a security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, has been arrested on charges of espionage. He is accused of spying for both Russia and Iran, with authorities seizing substantial digital evidence from digital devices during a raid on his home. The suspect has admitted to collecting and passing data to these countries but denies the espionage part of the charges. He was arrested at his home on Wednesday, and the case has raised concerns about potential threats to U.S. security interests.
