Norway Terrorism

Norwegian state broadcaster NRK says at least one person has died after a huge explosion rocked the center of the capital, Oslo. Dozens more are being treated in hospitals, NRK said, and all roads leading to the center of Oslo have been blocked.

Windows in several buildings had been blown out, and people were in the street bleeding, NRK said on its website.

There are conflicting reports about whether a second blast followed the first, which occurred mid-afternoon.

A person dressed up as a policeman has fired shots at the Labour Party Youth Camp, injuring several people, Norwegian state broadcaster NRK reports. There are about 700 people at the camp, NRK says.

Word of the attack comes after a giant explosion rocked government buildings in Oslo, Norway. NRK reported that at least two people were confirmed dead.

Several buildings are badly damaged, witnesses say, and the city is reeling. The cause of the blast remains unknown, and no one has claimed responsibility. Ref. CNN

A 32-year-old Norwegian man is in custody, officials said, after two attacks earlier in the day that killed at least 17 people -- attacks police said are linked.

The first attack occurred when a massive bomb erupted in the heart of Oslo; the second occurred at the ruling Labour Party's youth camp on an island outside the capital.

At least seven people were killed in Oslo, and 10 were killed on Utoya Island, officials said. A Labour Party member said panic broke out at the camp, with people climbing trees and jumping in a lake to avoid the gunfire.

The acting national police chief said the gun used was an automatic weapon and that undetonated explosives were found on the island after the attack. Ref. CNN

Its so tragic what one mad man can do with a gun although they're saying he probably had help. Was there a 'reason' behind all of this?

Reports have been saying that up to 80 people died and many injured. I don't know if they have the complete story yet or if they're not releasing it to the public.

The death toll is at 92 now. I thought our own local police took long but the Norwegian Police were really slacking on this:

In Norway, few killers serve more than 14 years. Even those given the maximum term can be released after two-thirds of their sentence.
