Norwegian ****** Attacks

Well, this aint normal in Norway: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/22/oslo-explosion-government-building

Eight reported injured in blast which has damaged buildings including office of Norwegian prime minster.

Several people have been injured in a large explosion which has damaged government buildings in central Oslo, including the office of the Norwegian prime minster.

A Reuters correspondent said he counted at least eight injured people after the unexplained blast.A photo posted online showed people looking on as smoke rose drifted through the streets. The caption for the picture said "an entire block exploded".

The tangled wreckage of a car was outside one building but the cause of the blast was unknown with police and fire officials refusing to comment.

The explosion at around 3.30pm (2.30pm BST) blew out most windows on the 17-storey building housing prime minister Jens Stoltenberg's office, as well as nearby ministries including the oil ministry, which was on fire. Video showed the pavement littered with shattered glass. Norwegian news agency NTB said the prime minister is safe. Newspaper offices in the area were also reportedly damaged.

The city centre - which usually empties in July as Norwegians take holidays - is currently closed off with all public transport to and from the centre suspended.


Update: One is confirmed dead. More than 8 injured.

Re: Explosion hits government building

Heard there may also have been an ****** by a guy dressed as a policeman with a handgun on a ********'s summer camp as well as other unexploded bombs?
 
Re: Explosion hits government building

Ulysses: Yes, that is correct. Just outside Oslo (Norways capital), there were a political camp for youth. A guy in police (lookalike?) outfit went wild with a ***. It might be some connection between that and the explotion in Oslo.

Heard the shooter has ****** 4 people in Utoya and was in the harbour asking for people for their IDs (probably to gather a crowd) and then began shooting, the shooting is still ongoing :(

Shooting is still going on yes. Utøya (or Utoya) is a little island, and now people are swimming in to the mainland. I dont have any more details at the moment about the shooting

it's carnage -- the photos -- brings back awful memories of 9/11.

Yeah. I thought in my mind. 9/11 in small scale.

Re: Explosion hits government building

On behalf of Norway; thanks for good wishes.


Update / I can confirm:
- Prime minister Jens Stoltenberg is OK
- At least four are ****** at Utøya
- 540 youngsters were at the camp
- The political camp (not the shooing) is arranged by the same political party as the prime minister is leading.

Re: Explosion hits government building

Was it, ummm, Islamofascism by any chance?

No offence to Islams, but it MIGHT be islams according some news channels. They refferd to the Muhammed drawings and the bombing in Denmark. But that is NOT confirmed. Personally, I have no strong oppinion on who could do this.

Update: 5 persons may be shot and ****** at Utøya.
