Norway: Terrorism in Oslo and Utoeya by suspected far-right Christian

[Evil Flare]

7.57pm: Former Guardian staffer Neil Perry, based in Oslo, is watching Norwegian television and tells me they are showing images taken from a helicopter showing people swimming in the water off Utoya Island, presumably they threw themselves into the sea to get away from the gunman. An eyewitness has reported bodies of people who had been shot floating in the water.

the only logical entity that would be ''inclined'' or even ''justified'' (lack of better words) in attacking Norway would be Libya.....other than that, it's hard to imagine who else would want to do it

unless it's just some anarchists trying to stir up trouble domestically

 

[harpoon]

where does ''india'' or this guy ''singh'' figure into this conversation??

Nothing. I just wanted to show the difference b/n Norwegian & Indian politician's response to terrorist attacks. While Norwegian leaders were calm we have big-mouth politicians like Digvijay Singh who doesn't miss any chance to revel in the limelight ,no matter the trauma that the nation faces.

Analysis

Gordon Corera
Security correspondent, BBC News
Police are saying that they believe the car bomb and the shooting are linked and they are thought to have a suspect in custody from Utoeya. That means they should be getting a clearer idea of who was behind this attack.

An al-Qaeda linked group is still a strong possibility, based on opposition to the role of Norwegian forces or issues linked to the publication of cartoons of the prophet. There were arrests last year in Norway linked to an international terrorist plot.

However, at this stage other possibilities, including domestic extremists, cannot be ruled out.

Constructing a large car bomb requires a degree of sophistication and the crucial factor for the police will be establishing how many people are behind this attack, whether any are still at large and to whom they might connected.

Norway, really? Never would have thought this day would come. I just hope Canada's not next. Its a great thing Canada has started deporting a lot of mullah extremists and are very strict in letting immigrants in.

Good move by Canada. The jihadis who carry out this heinous crimes doesn't realize the fact that by doing so they are jeopardizing the future of immigrants as a whole.

did it ever occur to you that that is the very ''reaction'' the terrorists aim to create?

8.35pm: Oslo police have said they suspect the man arrested after the youth camp shooting is also linked to the bombing in Oslo.
Acting Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim won't give any details about the man, who was dressed in a police uniform when he opened fire.
He said police were still trying to get an overview of the shooting at the Utoya youth camp and could not say whether there was more than one shooter.

Apparently, Muslim extremists, like the piece of **** in the pic above I posted, have nothing to do with incidents that happened today in Norway. It seems it's the work of a homegrown terrorist, possibly right wing oriented.
