So far 7 confirmed killed, 10 seriously injured in the bomb blast. There may still be wounded and killed people inside the bombed buildings. 10 confirmed killed and at least 22 seriously injured in the shooting at the youth camp. These numbers are expected to increase. The suspected shooter has been arrested. He is a native Norwegian and was dressed in a police uniform. There are reports indicating the same person was observed in the city shortly before the bomb blast, so at the moment it seems possible he is responsible for both attacks.Comment

Eyewitnesses describing the shooter as tall and blonde. Probably not many of those in Al-Qaeda or Libyan forces.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Have authorities discovered the motivation for the attack?Comment

Probably driven to madness by the 17 hour days.Comment

It is only speculation at this point. The suspect is being interrogated, but I doubt any details will be released until at least tomorrow and possibly several days from now. Considering his background, Islamic terrorism seems much less likely. The choice of targets, particularly the youth camp of the governing Labour party, indicates a political motivation. There are unconfirmed rumours that the suspect has connections to right-wing extremist organizations.Comment

I heard on the CBC that the killer spoke with a 'central' Norwegian accent, and was tall blonde and quite young, according to witnesses. Apparently Norway has home grown 'black shirt' youth anarchists. While police are silent on the matter, the main theory is the killer was one of them.

If you consider 32 quite young, you're probably right Sorry, still more norwegian
It sounds like he's a nutcase republican christian fanatic like the Oklahoma bomber.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Leave it to you to start blaming the Arabs when there's not a single shred of proof. Some Christian you are, Ben.
Look at this Arab.

80 people? My sympathies."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

CNN just said at least 87."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
