The information given from the various news are completely gibberish atm, I'm reading them all and trying to get a better overveiw.
Eye withness belives it's at least 2 weapons uses, one automatic weapon and one pistol-similar weapon.
That's an interesting idea. Turn the system against it's self, by using the authority the uniform affords. Speaking as a Paramedic, that's truly scary. While I know most of the officers in my area as I interact with them on the ambulance, I would think that no lay person would be able to tell a Cop from one that is not.
authorities on the island seem to be keeping quiet. this is very distressing to me as it should be to everyone when bastards involve children in their attacks.
tve i've been looking up the guy you were talking about, krekar. It seems likely that he has made good on threats he's made against the norwegian gov.
From what I can gather and what has been reported by the British press.
1. The police are linking the bombing in Oslo with the shooting Utoeya.
2. A nordic looking man, 6ft tall, blonde hair, of white decent and dressed in a police Unifrom was arrested at Utoeya. He apparently is of Norwegian nationality
3. He has reportly been seen at Oslo before the bombing.
4. The "Helpers of the Global Jihad" orginaly claimed responsbility, however terroism experts have dismissed this.
5. There is 7 dead and 10 injured at the bombing, on the island several are dead and more missing.
The latest info is that the subject is confirmed norwegian.
Holy ball shit, this is going to be intersting. My guess is now some wicked righ-hand politic veiws / racist / nazist veiws or something sick.
And yes, Krekar is going to the court soon, because of threats towards norwegian politicals. He is just talk, but he has a history of beeing in edgy groups.
Also, playing with people's trust is a horrible thing to do.
So far there is 10 confirmed dead at Utøya, 7 in the bombing and some. They are not sure if the policeman at the bombing place is the same as at Utøya, but they belives it.
Just reading and hearing about that is just something i can't tell. I have couple of my (local) friends in Norway atm and thinking that kinda stuff happening there... And thinking about the fact that Norway is one of my land neighbours and another scandinavian country makes me agree with myffes words, it won't be long after they make a strike in Finland also
Well if anything now is the perfect time to give up some extra privacy in return for some extra security. I say hope not but we all know how these turn out in the end.
Need to learn more about this bombing and shooting though before I say anything stupid.
Would have expected this to happen in Sweden or in Finland but not in Norway...
@cargame.nl - I have heard that, yes. My housemate is Norweigan so she's keeping me up to date, since she's obviously concerned. She's moving back there in a couple of weeks, not the best of timing! Does mean she can get all the facts from her 'local' news sites.
The newspaper vg.no tells that there have been found explosives on the island. The other newspapers does only say that the police is doing a bomb search.
