Two months have passed since they last spoke, a relative of the woman told GT.

According to the newspaper, Norwegian police have “no idea” where the terrorist attack may occur, and have asked for help from Swedish colleagues.

Norwegian citizens wanted for crimes in their home country have on several occasions fled to Sweden. A number of roads crossing the 1,630 km (1,010 miles) long border between the countries lack checkpoints.

Both Norwegian and Swedish police security agencies have declined to comment on the issue.
