Oslo Explosion: Blast Result of Massive Vehicle Bomb, Sources Say
ABC News ^ | July22,2011 | BRIAN ROSS

Posted on 07/22/2011 8:19:22 AM PDT by Hojczyk

The explosion that rocked a Norwegian government building today was result of a massive vehicle bomb, according to U.S. government sources on the scene.

Norwegian news reported one person died and several were injured in the apparent attack. The prime minister, whose office is in the building, survived the blast, a government spokesperson told The Associated Press.

Pictures, posted on Twitter, show several buildings with windows blown out. Multiple tweets described people bleeding in the streets.

No group has publicly taken responsibility for the blast and a U.S. counter-terrorism official said there is no indication yet of motive or suspects. A senior U.S. diplomat in Oslo said they believe all U.S. personnel in the country are safe and accounted for.

I trust you are not a fan of McCain’s Mini-Me, “Lindsley” Graham.

I'm a fan of putting them both in irons in the hot, airless stinking hold of a Nigerian-registered fishing trawler and sending them to a place where they can witness firsthand the results and outcomes of their policies and sell-outs.

Obviously it’s in response to Norway’s military presence in the Middle East, right?

Norway has troops in Afghanistan. Some modest research indicates that the number is about 500.

Must have been that Timothy McVeigh, huh? Guess he didn’t get zapped after all. Yeah that’s it. Janet NapolitNAZIano’s Gestapo DHS goons would agree.

I doubt it, the passive-aggressives will be out in full force defending the “peaceful muslims” and our side will be left quibbling the facts with psychopath effeminate liberals. Till our side starts to place “responsibility” upon the heads of liberals we are gonna spin our wheels.

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Some people need the sarcasm HTML tags to know when someone is being sarcastic.
