SCANPIX, via Associated Press Deadly explosions shattered windows on Friday at the government headquarters in Oslo, which includes the prime minister’s office. A spokeswoman for Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he was safe. More Photos » The police said they did not know if the man, identified in the Norwegian press as Anders Behring Breivik, was part of a larger conspiracy. He is being questioned under the country’s terrorism laws and is cooperating with the investigation, they said.

“We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised press conference, adding: “What we know is that he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist.” So far Mr. Breivik has not been linked to any anti-jihadist groups, he said.

Did they arrest him on the island when his ammunition ran out? Or did they let the man escape then go to his home to arrest him?

I haven't seen see anything about that. Basically, the shooting stopped when the police arrived is all I can gather.

Spiegel Online is constantly adding stories and details. I'm not sure if it's been reported in US news or not.

There's a lot there, but here are some things that stand out as I skimmed over the articles.

Eyewitnesses are saying there were shots every 10 seconds for 45 minutes. 30 minutes to 45 minutes seems like the length of the shooting spree. (or so it seemed).

Private boats rescued kids during the shooting.

Suspect bought 6 tons of fertilizer at the beginning of May. Generally a normal amount according to the agricultural supply store.

Spiegel also posted a separate article about the suspects facebook page. Very recent and nothing he wrote himself.

Spiegel even asks the rhetorical question Hat Anders B. genau das beabsichtigt? Wut gegen "die Rechte" zu wecken. ( Did Anders B. intend to do exactly that? Awake anger against the right.)

The last point is why I was curious about the reporting so far. The suspect's speech leads one to believe he has a 'christian fundalmentalist' point of view, but there seem to be real questions about that still.

BTW, in case anyone missed it, the fertilizer they say was delivered to his farm is STILL THERE. The police located it and except for what was used on his farm, it is all there.

Yup, you can see leftist pattern at work here.

Get your lying propaganda crap out first, knowing the truth will take time and struggle to surface.

Lots of sheeple believe the propaganda to start with and lose interest, get bored, move on or are too stupid/gullible to realize they have been scammed initially.

I am only as far as your post, but as I read along, I keep wondering about the timeline for this.

Has one come out yet? If he was seen in Oslo at the time of the bombing (one report suggested that?), how did he get to the island. It didn’t look that close on the map, and if it was 20 miles off the coast ~ boats/ferries don’t go all that fast!

Something seems off about the timing.

It has emerged that the man at the centre of the attack is also a member of a Swedish Nazi forum which encourages attacks on government buildings.

The revelations were revealed by Swedish newspaper Expo who claim Anders Breivik is part of 'Nordisk' which has 22,000 members and focuses on political terrorism.

Daily Mail: Was there a second gunman?

Think the local jihadists, who have been very publicly promising a wave of violence at the hands of Nordic-looking recruits, were unaware of the local government-hating Nazis plotting terror? You better believe they found each other. The Christian/Conservative stuff is a ruse. Not unlike the way serial bomber Walter Moody left a trail of right-wing breadcrumbs in his wake to throw off investigators in the 80's. Honestly, anyone suggesting that a member of a Nazi terror-plotting website was also a Christian conservative Tea Party supporter is either a complete fool, or a professional liar.

This is starting to look like a Tim McVeigh situation. But not in the way the alphabet-network news fed sheep think.

Good observation, and I also noticed this:

I myself am a Protestant and baptized / confirmed to me by my own free will when I was 15

But today’s Protestant church is a joke. Priests in jeans who march for Palestine and churches that look like the minimalist shopping centers. I am a supporter of an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic. In the meantime, I vote for the most conservative candidates in church elections.

The only thing that can save the Protestant church is to go back to basics.

Note the disdain for current Protestant Churches.

It sickens me that the liberal media identifies this demon as a Christian.

They are liars and instruments of the devil himself.

The Lord knows his children, and the killer was not a follower of Christ.

2 Timothy 2:19 “The Lord knoweth them that are His.”

Here’s one for the vile being who did this:

Proverbs 27:20 “Hell and destruction are never full,so the eyes of man are never satisfied.”

And another, for the immoral media who smear the name of Christ by calling the murderer a Christian:

Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.”

I always say there’s plenty of room in Hell. There seems to be no shortage of those doing their best to get in either.

We have to deal that this is a anti Muslim guy ,christian and very crazy. He really hates our government and the labour party. This is “our” nut. He have been on conservative websites. But no signals that he was a mass murderer. But this is terrorism. Now we have to worry about right extremists as well as islamist.
Either way. We are under siege.

It appears the perp was a blogger for Jihad Watch and Gates of Vienna who went by the pseudonym of “Fjordman”.

"But for now, he has broken the terrorist mold."

Well, not exactly. He fits right in Napolitano's mold, snug as a bug in a rug.

Have they already discounted the possibility that he may just be a crazy lunatic and there's nothing more to it than that?

Maybe, maybe not, but in that sort of panic and confusion, people could have heard all sorts of things: echoes and other sounds around the island. Odd they don't say how the supposed second person was dressed since the one captured was dressed as a policeman.

the killer had already planned the attack, and then, just a few days ago, created the FB page. zero friends. everything public. and ALL in English...

That is very curious. There's a lot more to this story than meets the news cycle, I suspect. Hopefully we'll find out shortly.

Thanks for reinforcement.

I had already been informed and conceded that what I read and commented on was incorrect.

Thanks
