Oslo car bomb

[T.Lex]

BBC News - Oslo: Bomb blast near Norway prime minister's office

Apparently, a car bomb has gone off in Oslo, in a government complex.

Prelude to 9/11/11?

ETA: the gov't there recently began a prosecution of a militant imam, according to another report.

Additional Sketchy reporting of someone dressed "as a policeman" shot up a youth camp south of Oslo. If this is related, possible "Mumbai" style coordinated attack....not good.

In addition to to legal actions mentioned by the counselor, Norway is a trusted partner in A-Stan and has been threatened by Al-Qaeda and other violent Islamic terror groups.

This is just what I wanted to hear about a week and a half before I go there for vacation.

Those darn Norwegians, always ticking off other people.

 

[Pocketman]

Didn't some of the Norwegion papers re-publish the Danish Mohamed cartoons a few years ago? We do not yet know if Islamic terrorists were behind this, but they are rapidly wearing out their welcome in Scandinavia and parts of Europe.

Round up the Vikings. Where has Nordic Heathen Vinlander been?

Some generic islamofascist group has claimed responsibility. Not that that particularly means anything. The Taliban have started claiming responsibility for almost everything lately.

They better hurry if they are going to move them out. They are reaching critical mass in some countries. They are demanding that Great Brittain give them some areas of the country that will operate under Sharia law now.

Round up the Vikings. Where has Nordic Heathen Vinlander been?

I have wondered that. Some of his posts were entertaining and education. I had never known that some people actually were into the paganism/ancient gods thing these days.

Sign of things to come im afraid. Coming to a country near you 2012?


Prayers to the Norwegians, our allies.

There is a tragic and twisted irony regarding the location where the explosion occurred, right in the very same square the prizes are awarded. Brings to mind the award handed over two years ago:

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."[1] The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.

Surely the terrorists were not aware of the holy ground they wreaked their violence upon. I am sure the Obamessiah will still reach out to them.

Sounds like this was just one individual acting alone at the bombing an shooting.

 

[mrjarrell]

Looks like the shooter at the camp was a Norwegian. Likely the same with the bomber, since they're making a connection between the two events. 17 dead (some say 16, still too many). Sad thing is that the maximum penalty you can get in Norway is 21 years in prison. Cushy prison.

The Telegraph has some pictures attached to this article and one is a picture of the guy whom they suspect of being behind this event. Blonde hair, blue eyes. The police discount the earlier claim that it was muslims.

But why would they have taken credit for it if they weren't behind it... that's just unbelievable

Death toll at the youth camp is now reported to be at 80!!!!!

"Home grown terrorist!"

 

[Kelevra TAR-21]

This was an attack against the labor party. It seems someone has got sick of the communist party doing whatever they want and decided to do something about it.

 

[Pocketman]

Guess we'll have to find something else to blame on peaceful Islam.
