Bombing, shooting at political rally rocks Norway capital of Oslo

In a separate incident, a man disguised as a police officer opened fire at a youth meeting of the ruling Labour Party in Utoeya, an island on the outskirts of the capital Oslo, state television NRK reported.

NATO member Norway, which counts some 500 troops in Afghanistan, has never suffered an attack at home by Islamic extremists.

However, police last year arrested three Muslim men based in Norway suspected of planning an attack using explosives in the Scandinavian country.

Norwegian prosecutors earlier this month also filed a terrorism charge against Mullah Krekar, founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam, who was accused of threatening a politician with death over his potential deportation from the country.

Krekar had warned that "Norway will pay a heavy price" if he were deported.

Norwegian F-16 fighter jets are also participating in air strikes in Libya, though the country has said it will withdraw its forces from the Libya operations on August 1.

But I thought the shooter was blond and blue-eyed, so thus he was probably Norwegian. Looks like an indijinusshh crime.

We'll have to wait for Digvijay to give us his opinion.

The Kurdish guys have always fought against the Turks, but they have never taken their struggle to bombing civilians. i seriously doubt they did this. it must be a Pak based group.

The guy is a neo-nazi.

And that islamic group has taken back there claim because the person has been caught alive. This should make people understand that they'll take credit even for attacks they haven't done.

(Reuters) - The Norwegian man detained after twin attacks in Norway on Friday that killed at least 17 people has links to right-wing extremism, independent Norwegian television TV2 reported on Saturday, without disclosing its sources.

He's basically a guy from christian conservative right wing party who peddle anti-islam, basically anti-everyone other than themselves.

I can already see 'cries' to ban call of duty since it had a level where one had to shoot civilians indiscriminately.

'A madman's work': 17 dead in twin attacks on Norway

A home-grown terrorist set off an explosion that ripped open buildings in the heart of Norway's government, and then went to a summer camp dressed as a police officer and gunned down youths as they ran and even swam for their lives.

The attacks on Friday killed at least 17 people in this peaceful nation's worst violence since World War II.

Norway's national broadcaster, NRK, has named the suspect in the attacks as Anders Behring Breivik.

NRK and other Norwegian media have also posted pictures of the blond and blue-eyed Norwegian.

A police official said the 32-year-old, suspect arrested at the camp on Utoeya island, appears to have acted alone in both attacks, and that "it seems like that this is not linked to any international terrorist organisations at all".

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially released by Norway's police

"It seems it's not Islamic-terror related," the official said.

"This seems like a madman's work."

The official said the attack "is probably more Norway's Oklahoma City than it is Norway's World Trade Centre".

Domestic terrorists carried out the 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City, while foreign terrorists were responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The official added, however, "it's still just hours since the incident happened. And the investigation is going on with all available resources".

At the youth camp, where Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg had been scheduled to speak today, a 15-year-old camper named Elise said she heard gunshots, but then saw a police officer and thought she was safe. Then he started shooting people right before her eyes.

"I saw many dead people," said Elise, whose father, Vidar Myhre, didn't want her to disclose her last name. "He first shot people on the island. Afterward he started shooting people in the water."

Elise said she hid behind the same rock that the killer was standing on. "I could hear his breathing from the top of the rock," she said.

She said it was impossible to say how many minutes passed while she was waiting for him to stop.

The shootings happened after the bombing in Oslo, Norway's capital and the city where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. The police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said there was at least one unexploded device at the youth camp, and that a police bomb disposal team was working on disarming it with support from military experts.

The Oslo blast left a square covered in twisted metal, shattered glass and documents expelled from surrounding buildings in a dust-fogged scene that reminded one visitor from New York of September 11.

Ian Dutton, who was in a nearby hotel, said people "just covered in rubble" were walking through "a fog of debris".

"It wasn't any sort of a panic," he said, "it was really just people in disbelief and shock, especially in a such as safe and open country as Norway. You don't even think something like that is possible."

Police said seven people died in the Oslo blast, and another nine or 10 people were killed at the camp, which was organised by the youth wing of the ruling Labour Party.

Rescuers were to search to blast wreckage through the night for more victims, and Stoltenberg said police fear there could be more victims at the camp as well.

Elise, the young camper, said she believes she saw more than 10 people killed.

Acting national Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim said a man was arrested in the shooting, and the suspect had been observed in Oslo before the explosion there.

Police did not immediately say how much time elapsed between the bombing and the attack at Utoeya, about 35 kilometres north-west, but reports of the shooting began appearing on Twitter about two-and-a-half hours after the bombing.

Sponheim said the camp shooter "wore a sweater with a police sign on it. I can confirm that he wasn't a police employee and never has been".

Aerial images broadcast by Norway's TV2 showed members of a SWAT team dressed in black arriving at the island in boats and running up the dock. Behind them, people who stripped down to their underwear swam away from the island toward shore, some using flotation devices.

Sponheim said police were still trying to get an overview of the camp shooting and could not say whether there was more than one shooter.

He said several people were injured but he could not comment on their conditions.

In Oslo, most of the windows in the 20-floor building where Stoltenberg and his administration work were shattered. Other buildings damaged house government offices and the headquarters of some of Norway's leading newspapers.

Oslo University Hospital said 12 people were admitted for treatment following the Utoeya shooting, and 11 people were taken there from the explosion in Oslo.

The hospital asked people to donate blood.

Stoltenberg, who was home when the blast occurred and was not harmed, visited injured people at the hospital late Friday.

Earlier he decried what he called "a cowardly attack on young innocent civilians."

"I have message to those who attacked us," he said. "It's a message from all of Norway: You will not destroy our democracy and our commitment to a better world."

Sponheim would not give any details about the identity or nationality of the suspect, who was being interrogated by police.

Stoltenberg said "we don't want to speculate" on whether a terror group is responsible, and said some groups may take responsibility "to appear to be more important than they are".

The attacks formed the deadliest day of terror in Western Europe since the 2005 London bombings, which killed 52 people

---------------------------------------------------------------

This doesn't look like a "madman's" work. The bomb was sophisticated, and the bomber himself was dressed as a policeman shooting people. And there are other reports that suggest that there were more than one shooters and was a coordinated attacks at a labor party youth camp with the aim of killing the PM and his supporters.

This seems to be much bigger than previously thought. With the economic downturn, rightwing extremist forces are moving towards violent extremism and terrorism.

DEATH TOLL HITS 80, MAY RISE : Views and News from Norway

Norway 's worst catastrophe since World War II continued to deepen during the night, when the director of the state police announced that at least 80 persons were killed in a massacre at the Labour Party's annual summer camp. Øystein Mæland also warned that more bodies could be discovered at the site.

"We still don't have a final overview over the number of injured," Mæland told reporters at a press conference around 3am Saturday, around 10 hours after a gunman dressed in a police uniform opened fire on campers on the island of Utøya northwest of Oslo."Many critically injured are being treated at UllevÃ¥l University Hospital in Oslo. A long list of others injured are spread over other local hospitals. We won't have a complete overview until tomorrow."

Mæland added that the situation "affects all of us. This is an incident of catastrophic proportions."

The state police director was clearly shaken by the high death toll, which comes in addition to the seven persons confirmed dead so far in the bombing that occurred in downtown Oslo before the massacre on Utøya.

"There has never been a situation like this in Norway before," he said. "This is a very dark day for Norway. This is something we have no experience with."

Survivors of Friday's terror on Utøya told gripping tales of how campers approached suspected gunman Anders Behring Breivik, thinking he came from the police as a safety measure after the bombing in the Oslo, only to experience that he shot them in cold blood. One young man told newspaper VG that he saw a girl shot in the head. Others ran for their lives, seeking refuge behind rocks or trees as the gunman continued his shooting spree around the small island in the Tyri Fjord.

Breivik, arrested by police and charged with the shootings, was described as a 32-year-old member of the Free Masons and a right-wing extremist who hates Muslims. It remained unclear what he thought he could accomplish by gunning down Norwegian teenagers at the Labour Party's summer camp, but some speculated the shootings were politically motivated. Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported that the gunman reportedly used both a rifle, a hand weapon and an automatic weapon. Police also found explosives on the island that hadn't been detonated.

Breivik had been observed in downtown Oslo just before a powerful bomb exploded in the heart of the government complex, killing at least seven others, injuring several more and causing widespread damage to government ministries and surrounding property. Police quickly linked the two incidents.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who has spent every summer on Utøya since the early 1970s, was informed of the skyrocketing death toll, up from 10 a few hours earlier, and said he was deeply saddened and shaken. The AUF summer camp attracts some of the brightest and most ambitious members of the Labour Party's next generation, so the massacre means a huge loss to the party's future. Crisis teams including psychologists and the Red Cross were set up to help survivors and the families of the dead.

The ones who plotted Mumbai bombs had put one at a bus stop 20 meters away from a school gate.
