police official said the 32-year-old ethnic Norwegian suspect arrested at the camp on Utoya island appears to have acted alone in both attacks, and that "it seems like that this is not linked to any international terrorist organizations at all." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially released by Norway's police.

"It seems it's not Islamic-terror related," the official said. "This seems like a madman's work."

The official said the attack "is probably more Norway's Oklahoma City than it is Norway's World Trade Center." Domestic terrorists carried out the 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City, while foreign terrorists were responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Indeed. Extreme-right is well present in northern Europe. But, we have to admit that's so out of no-where that a link to islam was the default option. The expression "Norway's Oklahoma City" is quite accurate.

Deputy Oslo police chief Sveining Sponheim tells reporters the man under arrest is 32 and "ethnic Norwegian". As yet, the motivation for the attack is not known.

Sorry guys, you'll have to save the torches and pitchforks for another day. I'm sure it won't be too long.

Wonder if the Norwegians will regard this as just an "isolated incident" the same way our American friends do whenever some batshit supremacist/"patriot" does something like this.

(and, yes, I really don't give a damn about whoever gets pissed off at that comment)

As opposed to professional terrorist organizations? Do you have to pass a test to become a pro, or what.

So what sort of amateur terrorist organization do you have in mind here. Lutefisk Defense Society? Berserkers R US? Langrenn Demolition Crew?

Amateur terrorist organization would be any that is too small or hasn't done something big enough to become a regular household name.

Quit being a nitpickey little bitch all the fucking time, and post something of relevance.



@ Eyebrock - It was the same with the IRA in Briton from the 70s to the 90s as I recall.

Also, I called it. You guys owe me a beer, and Arcy for the nice hint.

Police Say At Least 80 Killed in Norway Youth Camp Shooting

[Proculation]

$1:

A 32-year-old Norwegian suspect has been arrested after at least 87 people were killed in two attacks in Norway.

At least seven people died in Oslo after a huge car bomb exploded close to buildings which house the offices of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

A further 80 were killed when a man dressed as a police officer opened fire on the island of Utoya where a youth meeting of the ruling Labour Party was taking place.

The suspect being held in connection with both attacks has been named in media reports as Anders Behring Breivik.

Suspect Anders Behring Breivik

The suspect has been named as Anders Behring Breivik

Police are understood to have searched a flat in west Oslo where the man lived.

An anonymous police official said the suspect was arrested in Utoya and appears to have acted alone in the attacks.

He added he did not think the attacks were "linked to any international terrorist organisations" but seemed to be the work of a "madman".

Norway's TV2 claimed the suspect has links to right-wing extremism, without disclosing its sources.

Possible connection between suspected mass murderer/terrorist and right-wing anti-Muslim bloggers, including Pamela Geller's Atlas Shrugged?

In reality, if you follow the trail of raunchy, reckless, and dangerous rightist propaganda (especially coming from an evil hatemongering bitch like Geller) it probably was just a matter of time.

Police say the Norwegian man linked to both attacks appears to have acted alone.

"It seems like that this is not linked to any international terrorist organizations at all," said one official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "This seems like a madman's work."

I think the term "madman" may be somewhat an understatement.
