Just got home and saw this news. Norway seems to be one of the last places I would expect a terrorist attack to happen

 

[cheets64]

Yup, very few and fair between but they do exist, mainly to escape their mundane lifes, which all terrorists seem to do.

Might well be 100% BS but:

A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, according to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute that studies terrorism. The message said the attack was a response to Norwegian forces’ presence in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad. “We have warned since the Stockholm raid of more operations,” the group said, according to Mr. McCants’ translation, apparently referred to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010. “What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come.” The claim could not be confirmed.

On TV now they are reporting that they can see from the helicopter about 30 bodies floating around the island where the gunman was. Number not confirmed but it's just...

Don't know what to say.

Rumour is that he was a muslim convert.

No way a far right group did this. They might dislike the PM and who he works for but they do not kill their own children unless he was a complete lone nut job.

Inb4 Norway gets a load of new anti-terror laws designed to restrict the freedom of it's people and strip them of their liberties.

My thoughts exactly when I read this on the beeb, considering they've refused time and time again to implement such laws.

still unconfirmed though, I hope its not another religious nutter :'( I dont want this to be a reason why we have to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan for longer

You need to pipe down considering you vote for those parties who restrict our freedom of speech/thinking etc.

The shooting reminds me of the Port Arthur massacre which resulted in a gun ban in Australia. Gunman shot 35 people on a remote tourist island. Pretty sure they will have some knee jerk gun ban from this even if it was smuggled in from Bosnia.

 

[Robbo]

I think guns are banned over there, automatic weapons are anyway.

 

[Ivan Drago]

30 death count on the island seems quite large for a man equipped with one handgun....

 

[Twentyone]

They are getting the kids off the island now so will probably get an estimate soon. Think they confirmed 10 but there are so many conflicting reports.
