The IRA tended to send warnings though so that areas could be cleared of civilians before their devices exploded. How many Islamic groups do that eh?
Huge explosion at the government quarters in Oslo.

It's opinion and I did say I reserve the right to change it.
To me that doesnt look like a car bomb, but there was supposedly two explosions. I'm happy(probably not the best word to use) to be wrong. But I'm doing what the emdias doing and speculating.
Wasn't just directed at you mate, just some of these posts smack of "I can tell by the pixles"

Anyone noticed that US intelligence claim its a car bomb that went off?
To be fair I don't think you can rule out anarchists or communists, and this being related to the PIIGS problem. The greeks especially have done this kind of thing before to foreign diplomats.

Yep, I don't think the police will have to look too far.
Norway isn't in the EU.
They are reporting that it is a car that is hollow laying outside the building. Where the explosion was is a pedestrian only so why would there be a car there. It's confirmed on the news here at least that it is a bomb. Press conference in 10 minutes.
A few houses up from where I work there are a lot of windows that are shattered and it smells really burnt. And I passed loads of ambulances going into Oslo from the main hospital outside. They are even sending in the reserve ambulances as well.
Worst is I come home to find my mum shaking because she was there 10 minutes before it went off.
****ing sad day for Norway.

It looks more like a car bomb than a bomb carried in a rucksack and detonated inside a building. Debris is sucked out from air pressure from the blast. Like I said earlier thats what makes bombings in built up places look more severe. Windows being blown out and glass everywhere but with office supplies littering the area.
I live in Northern Ireland and I was in two towns that were bombed by the IRA on the run up to the Omagh bombing. I've been there twice when the smoke is still pluming and sirens and alarms are screaming. I've lost count of the number I've seen on TV from towns across the province. I'm sure there's many more older than I on these forums who have been on site during bombs where people have been killed, including Omagh. I'm sure there's people on these forums who were on site during the Docklands bombing on the mainland too.
Thankfully all that was a long time ago, up until the couple of car bombs last year and the year before in Londonderry. But it's something that sticks with you and you never forget.

Bomb Norway over a Danish cartoon, that would be almost as mad an invading Iraq following 9/11 and it took a massive retard to generate that outcome.
They are speculating it might have something to do with a guy called Mullah Krekar.
Probably just a wild guess but wouldn't be surprising. I think it's weird that no one has claimed it yet.

A Norwegian newspaper did publish the Cartoon though.

A friend of mine narrowly missed getting caught up in this, he drove through 5 minutes before the explosion, scary stuff.
IIRC no-one claimed responsibility for the July 7th bombings in London either. It wasn't until police raided the homes of the culprits that we got their martyrdom videos.
They are in the EEA though.

Sounds like communist mumbo jumbo to me. Norway = rich, greece = poor, that's all leftists terrorists need to know. Aren't exactly known for sound reasoning.
