A summer camp run by a political party? Was this Putin's idea?

It's pretty common in Europe. About as common as, say, summer camps run by churches are in the US.

Quote- From what I've seen at least four people were shot and killed.  Now it's complete panic and we swim off to get to safety, said County Secretary Adrian Pracon Telemark AUF.    According to AP, the person who fired, having been dressed as police  and said that he was going to the island in connection with the bomb  against the government quarter.

:huh:

So maybe the towelheads fucked this up? If the PM was scheduled to arrive to the island tomorrow, it's epic fail to attack it today.

Good job if the police indeed captured the fucker alive. Too bad Europe is way too civilized to waterboard people. [Slargos]he will probably receive political asylum and rape someone on the street in a month[/Slargos]

Considering we're still keeping Krekar and he's made threats about terrorist acts in Norway several times since, it seems likely.

Some guy on CNN was speculating about the mohamed cartoons perhaps being the CB.

Well if they turn out to be the excuse for these murders, I sure hope European papers will collectively re-publish them.

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.

Muslim terrorists use that tactic?

I have this feeling that this is a really, really bad plot from a really, really bad author for an airport bookstore thriller or B movie.

- Yeah, the attack on government offices is good, but predictable. We need something with more human interest.
- How about... er, an attack by a gunman against a group of kids on an isolated island? Like, ehm, Labour Party youths? Maybe some of them could be related to, like, the people in government?
- Yeah, yeah, cool, and then the PM jumps into a fighter jet and...
- I have to stop you right there, because since Norway decided to buy the JSF and send their remaining F-16 to Libya, there are no fighter jets left...

That still seems pretty bizarre.

Apparently I have.  Seems like a pretty foolish disguise to use, unless you guys have a lot of middle-eastern-looking policemen.

Lots of people have made politics their religion. Seems a logical substitution.
