Norway’s Dagbladet claimed that Norwegian intelligence cooperated with the US National Security Agency (NSA) to spy on Russian politicians, and other strategic targets in the country. Solberg says Norway is not in alliance with Russia.

Dagbladet: Norway Spies on Russia for NSA
17.12.2013 - Oslo

An allegedly top secret document obtained by newspaper Dagbladet shows how the Norwegian Intelligence Service (PST) and the NSA had cooperated to spy on Russia.

In one of the memos published by the newspaper, access to Russian targets in the Kola Peninsula is noted. The named peninsula contains the highest concentration of nuclear weapons, reactors and facilities in Russia.

The document also reveals that NSA has been working in partnership with PST "to expand and deepen the intelligence exchange, focusing on report sharing and target development on Russian political, natural resources and energy issues". The newspaper also writes that Russian politicians have been the intelligence operations, although no specific names are mentioned.

The document, classified "Top Secret," is dated April 17, 2003, and is signed by a leading official at the NSA’s Norway Desk.
