Watching the live feeds from norwegian tv right now... You never think something like this can happen in a tiny country like Oslo but apparently it could.

3Apparently the carbomb went off right in the heart of political Oslo, just a couple of hundred meters away from the norwegian prime ministers office. Not a coincidence, one feels.TC wrote:wth...? i thought the only things threatened in oslo were wood churches. this sucks.... is nowhere safe?
Re: Bombing in Oslo - several injured and dead
4Latest: 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.

assumptions, but still - if that's it, that is so beyond pathetic.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.
Re: Bombing in Oslo - several injured and dead
6Jesus, eye witnesses (unconfirmed) are talking about 25-30 shot dead. Police have confirmed so far seven dead in the bombings.
Re: Bombing in Oslo - several injured and dead
7Fuck. 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.

8New York Times says he's a Christian fundamentalist, so there goes the al-Qaeda/Muhammad cartoon theory. Apparently his face book page said he likes to play video games, so now we know who's to blame!
Just cut them up like regular chickens

Re: Bombing in Oslo - several injured and dead
10Yeah, 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.
