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.

No one finds this all a massive coincidence with all the ‘right wing white male is our biggest threat’ crap the DHS has been putting out hard and heavy lately?

True enough, of course. But bear in mind that jihadist groups claim credit for everything and anything.

If there was some catastrophic natural disaster like an earthquake or volcanic eruption in “The Land of the Infidels”, some jihadi group would say, “We did that!”

Der Spiegel is a great source.

As for Fox, someone yesterday posted, “When seconds count, Fox News is only minutes away.” I can’t remember who, but I got a good chuckle out of that quip.

“The police were diverted by the Oslo bombing.”

What, are there only five goddamn cops in all of Norway ?

Brace for US policy impact.

Unless Norway has become a US state, they'll get burned if they try.

What did ATF know and when did they know it. Anyone know if ATF armed this guy with a Fast and Furious weapon? I wouldn’t put it past Obama, his minions, etc. IOT enact gun control on an international level.

They just had a bomb training exercise in Oslo two days earlier! Someone either didn’t pay attention or...

I don’t know, this whole thing is just WEIRD.

Three who got away


You can see the gunman in the center, looks like he's walking
towards the guy in the water on the left probably pleading for his life
holding his right hand in the air.

He was most definitely a Free Mason. Have you seen him in full dress on Daily Mail?

They must be dying off at the ole lodge though. Not many 30 year olds in that style of dress.

A Facebook page matching his name and the photo given out by the police was set up just a few days ago. It listed his religion as Christian, politics as conservative.

I think we need to keep in mind that Facebook pages depicting attractive 14 year old girls are set up by Federal Agents thirty or forty years old to catch child molesters with amazing regularity.

Little on the social media internet can be taken at face value without verification.

By his actions, I'm not seeing anything that flanges up with "Christian".

Wait, this was done on a Norwegian Holiday?

Why would an anti-government Norwegian born and raised citizen want to bomb the government on a holiday when no government would be there?

That would be like the OKC bomber doing it on Labor Day or something!
