Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before...

A "broad strata" of seemingly unconnected individuals from hither and yon were apprehended by authorities--this time in Norway--before they got to detonate their homemade bombs:

Norwegian police say three men with links to al-Qaida have been arrested in Norway and Germany for allegedly plotting a terrorist attack.

The head of Norway's Police Security Service, Janne Kristiansen, announced the arrests Thursday.

One of the suspects was a Norwegian citizen of Uighur descent, while the other two were an Iraqi and an Uzbek who had residency in Norway.

The Associated Press quoted Norwegian police as saying it was not clear if the suspects had a specific target in mind, but that they planned to make powerful peroxide bombs.

Sounds like the start of a bad joke: " A Uighur, an Iraqi and an Uzbek walk into a mosque..."

Update: Norwegians are shocked--shocked!--that they're on the jihadis' hit list. Guess they don't realize that the Quisling M.O. won't work for them this time around, them being infidels and all.
