They've got the shooter in custody, so I guess we'll find out soon enough.

That's just great. Now he will probably get a trial and all of that messy rights stuff that goes along with it.

Sad sad news, my support to all the victims of this terrible and coward attack.

I spent six long months in Bosnia saw a lot ****, but we are never ready for this kind of things.

Your trolling attempts are not working. Next one will lead to a suspension.
 
BBC Online:

2124:A terrorism expert tells the BBC that Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, a terror group that claimed responsibility for the explosion in Oslo, was not behind the attack.

2056:The foreign minister has also confirmed that the man arrested following the shooting on the island is Caucasian.

I kind of hope that it's a crazy Timothy McVeigh type, unlikely as it may be. Much easier to prevent a repeat that way.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. Apparantly, someone matching the description of the shooter, including the police uniform, was seen close to the bomb site just before it blew. It would be a relief of sorts to know that this was the work of one single crazy *******, who is now caught. He is norwegian, by the way, just confirmed in a press conference.

(Edit: the word that was censored, literally means someone who is born out of wedlock. I know a lot of other words I could have used, but I thought the word I used would be OK with the word filter.)

This still doesn't explain the nordic characteristics of the guy they've taken into custody. If indeed the description is accurate.

Could be some Jihad Jane type. Who knows.


Anyway, it seems the attacks were directed specifically against the Labor party and it's prime minister.

The one upthread about the freedom bombs worked, if you call genuine outrage trolling. It sparked some discussion. I am sure this one would have worked as well if you hadn't chimed in.

I was planning next on asking if they could use enhanced interigation techniques to gain info, then pop a cap in him to forego the messy trial stuff. I am seriously interested in this type of discussion, and I find it offensive that my curiousity is labeled "troll" by you. I haven't trolled this place in awhile. Thanks for your patience.

I'm really glad that this latest atrocity has provided you with a perfect occasion to display your moral superiority. I'm sure that if the kids who got shot at the summer camp could read your posts, they'd feel that whatever pain and terror they incurred was not in vain.

By the look of it right now, this tragedy is homespun, and NOT an act of moslem terrorism. The perp is most likely a 6'2" blond norwegian, aged 31.

Wasn't referring to Norwegians per se, just those who think that bombing solves problems. Maybe that's you, I don't know. Think about it a while.
I don't, no. I'm sorry if I read an unfair generalization into your comment. Relying on bombs is hardly a genuine norwegian problem though.

I seem to recall about a year ago that in Canada they suspected that middle eastern groups were trying to recruit locals here to do there " stuff " so they are less noticable. I'm not stating this is the case, but don't count it out just yet.

Danish media reports the suspect being active on several anti-islam websites. If that information is accurate I think we can just about conclude it was a right wing extremist.

ETA: News reports says he's a 32 year old who's been connected to right wing-extremism for at least 10 years.
