Oslo, Norway: Oslo's central train station was partially evacuated on Wednesday morning because of a suspicious item of baggage, Norway's NTB news agency reported.
"A bag, apparently with no owner, was found next to platform 19. The area around the platform was evacuated. Therefore trains and buses will not travel in this area," railways spokesman Olav Nordli told the agency.
"Police are on the scene and taking the measures they deem necessary. The area has been evacuated... this measure does not concern the entire central station but a good part of it," he said.
Norway is on the alert after twin bombing and shooting attacks on Friday left 76 people dead, the worst bloodshed in the country since WWII.
