Police in Oslo have arrested two men in connection with fatal shootings near a bar in the Norwegian capital.
The investigators said on Monday that they were accused of aiding and abetting terrorist acts.
Specifically, it is a man aged 40 to 50 with Somali citizenship and a man between 30 and 40 with a Norwegian passport.
Both are residents of Oslo and previously known to the police.
A total of three people have been arrested since the attack almost three months ago.
The suspected shooter was caught minutes after the shots were fired.
He is Norwegian with Iranian roots.
An international search is underway for a fourth man, an Islamist known in Norway.
He is also accused of aiding and abetting acts of terrorism.
Police believe he is in Pakistan.
On the night of June 25, an assailant fired shots near a popular gay bar in the Norwegian capital.
A Pride parade originally planned for the same weekend was then canceled at short notice.
Two people died in the act and 21 others were injured.
The attack was classified by the secret service as an Islamist terrorist attack.
Among other things, the police are investigating the theory that the act could have been explicitly directed against homosexuals.
