Oslo Bombing.

The youth meeting was apparently attacked by a guy in police uniform with a handgun.

I'll reserve judgement on who is to blame untill we have facts.

Involvement in conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya? as a NATO member?

yup...norwegian forces form part of the NATO forces in afghan

 

[nelsons willie]

Anyone could be responsible at the moment.It looks like the government building was the main target.Could be some nutter with a grudge against authority.It does seem odd that Norway is the target.

 

[TCIB]

They are in Afghanistan yes but mainly teams doing reconstruction, albeit their equivelent of the sas is there.

Also they are involved in Libya some how.

 

[rickmcfc]

Norway has 500 troops in Afghanistan fighting with other allies from around the world. They have also been involved in Libya, carrying out attacks from the air.

Some nutter is attacking a youth centre on a holiday island with an automatic weapon. Coincidence? No. Be some political shit.

1 arrested at the youth camp.

How pretty does Utoya Island look? Mad when shit like this happens in the least likely of places. Remember the Mali bombing in 2002? That was similar - completely unexpected.

I expected more of the BBC tbh, every question they are asking is focussed on trying to get people to shout "Muslim Fanatics" ok i know it probably is but still didn't expect that of the bbc.
