OSLO (Reuters) - A huge explosion wrecked government buildings in central Oslo on Friday including Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's office, injuring several people, a Reuters journalist said from the scene.
The cause of the blast was unknown but the tangled wreckage of a car was outside one building and the damage appeared consistent to witnesses with that from car bombs. Police and fire officials declined comment on the cause.

Now there are reports of a gunman opening fire on children at a youth camp connected to the Prime Minister of Norway. :(
Last week, Mullah Krekar, an Iraqi-born cleric who lives in Norway, was charged with terrorism after allegedly threatening politicians with death if Norwegian authorities deport him. Krekar is the founder of the militant Kurdish Islamist group Ansar Al Islam."

This is very sad. Oslo is somewhere I would like to visit some day.
God bless the people there.
My condolences on their losses today.
Grow the fuck up assholes.
it's not hurt feelings, they are just looking for any reason that they can feel justifies their terror. they are just evil people. Condolences to anyone affected by these acts of terror.
It's time to start extracting information from him.

Initial reports focused suspicion in Islamic extremists, even as Muslim leaders in Norway swiftly condemned the attacks. “This is our homeland, this is my homeland; I condemn these attacks and the Islamic Council of Norway condemns these attacks, whoever is behind them,” said Mehtab Afsar, secretary general of the Islamic Council of Norway.
According to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute, a previously unknown group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were a response to the presence of Norwegian forces in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad.
But Norwegian television reports later suggested that the group had denied responsibility. In the immediate aftermath of recent terrorist attacks, jihadi forums are often filled with claims and counterclaims that are impossible to independently confirm.
A threat assessment released in March by the Norwegian police said that though support for extremist Islamic terrorism was not widespread, “activity in certain communities” meant that the threat level would be heightened in 2011. “Some extreme Islamists currently appear to be more globally oriented,” the report said, “and it is primarily this group who could present a direct threat to Norway in the year ahead.”

"Norway police official tells AP attacks in Norway don't appear linked to Islamist terrorism"
Word is he is part of a right wing Christian fundamentalist group.. Time to round up all the right winged Christians and send the to G Bay! :twisted:
At least 87 are dead now from the shooter. How did he take that many out without being stopped? Something is missing here.
But apparently it's not guns that kill people, it's people that kill people!
I wonder whether he'd have been able to kill so many people armed with just a knife?
Fuck these people!
Even if you make all guns illegal, try telling me you couldn't get one if you really needed one. Look at drugs. Now not only do you have an underground dangerous market for selling them, but the people who plan to use them to do no good getting them anyways. :?
It would still be more difficult to get hold of one, thereby reducing the chances of such large massacres occuring.
Though I don't know what gun laws/restrictions are like in Norway.

There was a link to his Facebook page, but it's been taken down. However, it's being reported that the Facebook page showed that he was a fan of World of Warcraft, as well as Orwell's 1984 and JS Mill's On Liberty.
Anders B Breivik is being reported as the suspect's name from mainstream sources...

The picture seen with the story above makes me physically ill.
when is the last time in recent memory a left wing atheist grabbed a gun and wasted random people?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
The 32-year-old Norwegian man who allegedly went on a shooting spree on the island of Utoya has been identified as Anders Behring Breivik, according to multiple reports.
The Daily Mail and Sky News were among those to report the suspect's name. According to witnesses, the gunman was dressed as a police officer and gunned down young people as they ran for their lives at a youth camp.
Police said Friday evening that they've linked the youth camp shooting and Oslo bombing. Breivik is believed to have acted alone.
Norwegian TV2 reports that Breivik belongs to "right-wing circles" in Oslo. Swedish news site Expressen adds that he has been known to write to right-wing forums in Norway, is a self-described nationalist and has also written a number of posts critical of Islam.
A Twitter account for Breivik has surfaced, though it only has one post, this quote from philosopher John Stuart Mill: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100 000 who have only interests." The tweet was posted on July 17.
On a Facebook account that Norwegian media outlets have attributed to Breivik, he describes himself as having Christian, conservative views. He says he enjoys hunting, the games World of Warcraft and Modern Warfare 2, and lives in Oslo. He also lists political analysis and stock analysis as interests.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Possibly the Bahder-Meinhof gang in West Germany in the 1970's, although their targets were more selctive, as opposed to wiping out scores of schoolchildren.
