Breaking News - Major Terrorist Attack In Oslo, Norway

[Warspite]

No one's claimed responsibility, and no verification of a bomb device.

Looks like someone left aluminum foil in the office microwave again.

edit:  Therefore, blame lies with that sinister Islamic global conspiracy, Al-Uminum.

Crack myself up sometimes.

Bumped, because I'm still giggling.

I think you mean, Al Umin-e-Um

Norway would seems like such an odd place to attack

If it was over Afghanistan or Libya or wherever then that's why the chose it. Easier target than London or NYC.

There are probably targets just as easy with more soldiers in Afghanistan.  Is Norway even participating in the Libya thing?

At the police press conference they just urged the public to "leave the city center, mass transit is still working as usual" AND "avoid large crowds".

Norwegian F-16 were among the most active participants in ground attack, at least a month ago.

Norway would seems like such an odd place to attack.  There's only 400 or so Norwegians in Afghanistan.  I bet you could force them to leave with out resorting to a car bomb.  A few acts of petty vandalism would probably be sufficient to scare the Norwegian government into leaving Afghanistan.  It could be something else that makes no sense to us like a Norwegian comedian made an offensive joke or they sell the wrong type of butter.  Attacks by Islamic extremists don't always make sense to Westerners.

One possibility is the cartoons. Again.

Anyway, looks like I was really, really forward thinking when I moved from St. Olav's Street back in 1998.

It was supposedly a car bomb. Chosen because during summer, everything slows to a halt and already relaxed security around high-profile targets is even more lax now.

From the place and timing, I'd have thought this was a decoy, more or less. It's the best time and place to block central Oslo. People leave work around that time during summer and by getting the East-West axis closed, it'd be really hard to route traffic efficiently in a city that was designed for around 10.000 cars.

New reports emerge that the central railroad station is being evacuated and there are yet unconfirmed reports of shooting at the Labour Youths' summer camp at Utøya several miles away near Tyrifjorden. I have no idea which of the Labour Party's bigwigs are there.

In any case, this is bound to change Norway in one way or the other.

NRK reporter: "Has Oslo or Norway been afflicted by something like this before?"

Press officer: *long, pained, embarrassed silence* "Ehr... No."

Edit: Ah. Blonde.

Anarchy in Norway? Witnesses say a person has been shooting several rounds at people on an Island south of Oslo, at a meeting for social democrats.

Actually that seems to be a summer camp for social democratic youths. Shooting a bunch of kids....yah I´m thinking towelheads.

Apparently a guy dressed as a police officer. Sounds like towel-head tactics indeed.

It would be a pretty amazing coincidence.

Fox popped on and did an unconfirmed report of an attack at a summer camp.

And the reports now say fatalities on the camp. Keeps getting better.

That doesnt sound like a handgun then. Unless they are blowing it way out of proportion it must be some sort of semi/automatic rifle.

By all means do keep allowing Muslim vermin within our borders.

I wish the filth would pull something really big - so we can finally get rid of them all.
