Hopefully no one has been killed. Except the bomber, I don't mind if he gets killed.

I'm sorry to say it people, but with that sort of debris field, you are looking at serious casualties.
From: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/ir...cle4180673.ece
the Norwegian newspaper.
It is not yet possible to say how many people are injured or killed in the explosion. - All we know is that there is a kind of explosion. We are on the way out there, are the short and hasty message Aftenposten.no get the police in Oslo for the call just after half past four.
In a press release from the Oslo police are the following:
There has been a powerful explosion in the government quarter. The police was notified of this at 1526 this afternoon.
All rescue personnel are on site and the police are trying to get an overview of the situation. Police District staff is called.
Several injured
Both windows in the government quarter and VG building is blown out, according to Aftenposten's report on the site. They look more damaged.
- The police tell us that we need to get us off, we need to get off. There may be more bombs, tells reporters.
They say that there is broken glass everywhere, the burning of buildings.
- I see people with blood on his face and hands, telling Aftenposten reporter.
Eyewitnesses say it may look like a car outside a high block has been the basis for the explosion. Press The wave was so powerful that the windows all the way down to the National Agencies building was blown out.
Paramedics treat more injuries in the street outside the government building.
Entire facades blown out
Our reporter passed Market Street and there is full chaos people running around bewildered. Several places are a fire alarm.
You can smell the sulfur fumes.
Shop Denim Gallery has received throughout the facade blown out
Closing of areas
A huge rřyksy rose several hundred feet in the air. Large parts of Oslo heard a huge explosion which led to Darren Hayes literally shook when the explosion happened
at five at half four in the afternoon.
Vaterland tunnel is closed. Square is about to be closed and Young town square is already closed, probably because the police fear that new explosions can occur.
NOTE: The Norwegian Prime Minister is alive also.

There are reports of explosion at Youngstorget and also a bang at Postgirobygget. Also rumored that the bomb was in the cantina of the government HQ. But nothing official as of yet.
No reports of deaths. But it seems incredible that no one died. I pray to whoever rules this planet that this is the case.

I find it funny that they continued to show TdF up till now on Norway's most popular channel, while theh only showed direct-pictures and so on on their newschannel.

There is nothing confirmed yet, we're getting reports of one blast, then two, then one again, then two. The police are widening their cordon. It has not been confirmed that there was a bomber, and no deaths have been reported so far.
I couldn't even hear it, up here in the hills. But the museum is a bit noisy today.

So, anarchists, neo-fascists or muslims?
Very few anarchists or neo-fascists in Norway. Most likely muslims considering that previous bomb-plots have been stopped.
An extreme wild card would be satanists but they didn't do that kind of stuff even in the 90-s
No because it's far away and a common occurance.

I think you know how that is working... Though I highly doubt this was enough for the government to understand that.Muslims. How's multiculturalism working out for you, Norway?
I think it is quite obvious. Intelligent beings have more value than animals.right and the hundreds of innocents killed by western bombers? seriously dont be so naiive, you declare war on a country YOU MUST be ready for some retaliation. What makes the life of a european so much more precious than that of a libyan
It's redundant to write your username at the end of your post,
if I wanted to see your name I'd look to the left of my screen.
