Oslo bomb: suspicion falls on Islamist militantsNorway's role in Afghanistan and its decision to file terrorism charges against a Muslim cleric may explain the Oslo bomb attack

I saw that.

I've been racking my brain in an attempt to figure out what insane group could indiscriminately place such a bomb and murder innocent people???

If I was the United States Department of Homeland Security I'd be lining up all the white guys right about now......

Sky News also reports of shooting at a children's camp.

Excerpt:

"There are reports that some shots were fired at a youth meeting of the ruling Labour Party in Utoya, an island on the outskirts near the capital.

As many as 700 people were believed to be taking part in the summer camp.

Police have said they are sending anti-terror officers to investigate the incident."

Norway Camp Shooting: 'As Many As 30 Dead'

As many as 30 people are feared dead in a shooting at a Norwegian youth camp after a bomb in the capital Oslo killed at least seven.

Shots were fired by a man dressed as a police officer at a youth meeting of the ruling Labour Party in Utoya - an island on the outskirts near the capital.

An eyewitness reported seeing between 25 and 30 bodies.

Norwegian police said they thought there could also be explosives on the island.

Around 600 people were believed to be taking part in the summer camp - most of whom were teenagers aged between 14 and 18.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg had been due to attend the event.

One man was arrested after the incident - he was described as tall and blonde, and spoke fluent Norwegian.

Sky sources said he was shot and wounded during the arrest.

Police said they suspected he was linked to the bombing in Oslo.

Mr. Beaumont's article is an incredible exercise in editorial self-promotion. At the time of his writing, the suspicions he described were his own.

SSDD - par for the course these days - all factions.

Prayers out to all innocent Norwegians and swift justice to the perpetrators.

On-going Norwegian news in English.

Quote:

21:23 Explosion - According to Norwegian sources, the attacker in Utøya is a blonde, 1.85 cm tall man.
The attacker caught at Utøya was spotted by the explosion area minutes before the explosion happened. He was dressed as a police officer both in Oslo and at Utøya, however the police reports that he is not and has never been a part of the police force in Norway.

So far 7 people are reported killed after the bomb explosion and 10 people are killed after the shooting at Utøya where the Labour Party's annual youth camp was being held.

Could this tall and blonde guy be a recent convert to Islam?

On some other forums I frequent, the theory bouncing around is an internal dissident responsible for both attacks.

The post one person made (who has a contact in the immediate area) is:

Quote:

She called her mom thirty minutes ago. She's shook up and in shock (she's 15 and she saw a man get killed) but she's alright.

The facts, as they're known right now, are:

- The Utöya killer was probably responsible for the bombings as well. A man matching his description was seen outside the Petrol and Energy Ministry leaving in a van that matches the van witnesses saw the shooter arrive in at Utöya.
- Seven dead in Oslo, nine dead at Utöya at this time.
- Killer is described as a Norwegian man who is previously known by the police.
- This is not suspected to be linked to international terrorism, but a homegrown variety born from a hatred of the Norwegian political system.
- The killer was dressed as a police officer and when he came to Utöya, he called some kids over before he started shooting.
- The bomb was a carbomb and it could have been loaded with as much as 100kg of explosives.
And of course, today is the day my stratfor login went sideways and their support team is being a bit slow in response (they are likely a bit busy right now) so I can't verify any facts through them at this point. More McVeigh/Loughner style and less bin Laden. But we will know more with the suspected shooter in custody.

The camp is a Labour Youth convention in alignment with the current political ruling party.
