Latest: Several dead in the buildings where the bomb went off. An hours drive away, there was a big political jamboree held for the norwegian social democrats youth-organisation and a man dressed as a police offer barged in and started shooting. Latest is that there are at least five shot dead and several injured.

was just coming to post that. what the fuck....

also saw this:
So, it definitely seems like some sort of coordinated terrorist attack. The Atlantic has a good run down of why peaceful, good-natured Norway could be a target for Islamist terrorists. (In fact three men with alleged ties to al-Qaeda were arrested in Norway and Germany for plotting terrorist attacks about a year ago.) In short, it could be retaliation for Norway's role in occupying Afghanistan, or because some extremists are still possibly upset about that stupid Prophet Muhammad cartoon from 2006 (let it go, guys). Or they could be pissed off about Norway trying to deport an Kurdish Islamist leader, Mulla Krekar, back to Iraq.
assumptions, but still - if that's it, that is so beyond pathetic.

Fuck. Latest confirmed number of death teens at the camp: 80. And rising.

Same guy bombed the government buildnings in Oslo, then took his car and drove 40 minutes, presented himself as a police officer to get a boat out to the island where the camp was. Then he identified himself again, gathered a large number of teenagers around him and just started firing.

Apparently right wing extremist, from whats been confirmed.

Yeah, 98 confirmed dead between the neo-nazi and the bomb. Apparently there could be even more bodies still to be counted; the building is too unstable to enter, and there may also be further unexploded ordnance.

Yet the death of Amy Winehouse is the top headline over here.

Humanity can be a real fucking disgrace.
