91 dead after terror attacks in Norway

A Norwegian dressed as a police officer killed at least 80 people at an island retreat, police said early on Saturday. It took investigators several hours to begin to realise the full scope of the massacre, which followed an explosion in Oslo that killed seven and that police say was set off by the same suspect.

Police initially said about 10 people were killed at the camp on the island of Utøya, but some survivors said they thought the toll was much higher. Police director Øystein Mæland told reporters early on Saturday they had discovered many more victims.

"It's taken time to search the area. What we know now is that we can say that there are at least 80 killed at Utøya," Mæland said. "It goes without saying that this gives dimensions to this incident that are exceptional."

Mæland said the death toll could rise even more. He said others were severely injured, but police did not know how many were hurt.

A suspect in the shootings and the Oslo explosion was arrested. Though police did not release his name, Norwegian national broadcaster NRK identified him as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik and said police searched his Oslo apartment overnight.

A police official said the suspect appears to have acted alone in both attacks, and that "it seems that this is not linked to any international terrorist organisations". The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially released by Norway's police.

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

The motive was unknown, but both attacks were in areas connected to the ruling Labour party government. The youth camp, about 20 miles northwest of Oslo, is organised by the party's youth wing, and the prime minister had been scheduled to speak there on Saturday.

The blast in Oslo left a square covered in twisted metal, shattered glass and documents expelled from surrounding buildings. Most of the windows in the block where the prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, and his administration work were shattered.

The police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the Oslo bombing occurred at 3.26pm local time, and the camp shootings began one to two hours later. The official said the gunman used automatic weapons and handguns, and that there was at least one unexploded device at the youth camp that a police bomb disposal team and military experts were disarming.

Seven people were killed by the blast in Oslo, four of whom have been identified. Nine or 10 people were seriously injured.


The official death toll is currently 94 and they have also found connections between the shooter and "antimuslim" organizations and he's also openly christian which should start quite the debate worldwide considering people first thought that the shooter had connections to the middle east.

I still can't believe it..

It's starting to look more and more like the bombing in Oslo was a diversion to let the attack on the camp remain unattended for longer and it also looks like it's an attack specifically directed against the norweigan democracy but so far this is only speculations and I guess we won't know much more until the interrogation starting today is over.

Some minor interesting points from the interrogation so far, The first one which isn't really a surprise is that he thought his actions were needed for a larger goal. He has also mentioned that he has written a 1500 pages long text which explains his view on the world.

I really can't rationalise his completely ######ed up mind in any possible way; whilst I've been reading his manifesto none of it still makes any sense to me. In explaining his view on the world he even manages to mention his favourite cologne among his diet. Just... wow.

Really I am just shocked. Something like this can never be anticipated as he never properly affiliated himself with a hostile group.

In any case, there is no chance for rehabilitation for this sick man, so I hope nobody ever decides otherwise.... death penalty anyone? Urgh... things like this put me back on the fence on the issue. :wall:

In Grand Prairie, TX (about 20 miles away) over the weekend, a korean guy gunned down his wife, 2 kids and 2 in-laws at a kids skating rink. No one else, just the family.

No reason yet on why...

Commericialism/Americanism at it's finest. The rink was open for business 5 hours later...

I don't know which one pisses me off the most?!?!?
