I've just been told. Will flick over to the news now!

reports of shots being fired at a Labour youth camp just outside Oslo too

woops, other reports saying it was a conference that the Norwegian PM was speaking at .

people reported dead at the Youth Camp 

Someone dressed as a police officer opened fire seemingly. This is terrible.

I'm watching it Slinki, seems there could be loads of casualties...the doctor said 100 possibly more. It's awful  

How did it happen? 

It's shocking. Norway's generally seen as a safe place . See they've arrested someone on the island in connection with the shootings? 

There's speculation it was a car bomb at government offices. then reports came in soon after that there was gunfire at the Labour Youth camp.

OMG! 

The reports coming from the island are dreadful if true..... children and teenagers  You just don't expect it in a country like Norway. 

All this because of a cartoon several years ago. Very bad.

From Sky News:

"Norway has been the target of threats in the past - particularly for its involvement in Afghanistan and Libya.

The country has also experienced problems with several home-grown terror plots linked to al Qaeda.

Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he was deported."

Not sounding good  

I'm just watching now. An eyewitness says he saw 20-25 bodies on the island 

Grim. The police said they feared there might be explosives on the island too.

There's also a theory it may be home-grown right wing zealots

Sounds bad

Apparently there are people still trapped in buildings 

Just terrible 

It's awful.

Whoever was responsible it's terrible

It is. The bombing of the building is terrible, but that island is so small, and over 500 people on it for the camp , must be terrifying. 

Norwegian TV showing footage of people swimming to get off the island.

sounds like it was a co-ordinated attack 

Police are saying the 'man dressed in policeman's clothes' is linked to the blast too Pengy 

Bloomin' hell 

Glad they got him.

This is terrible. 

An eye witness saw more than 20 bodies in the water off Utoya Island.

A man has been arrested. 

At least 11 dead now!

"At least 11 people are reportedly killed as Norway is hit by a huge bomb in the capital, Oslo, and a shooting at a Labour Party youth camp."

At least two from the blast, so most of the dead must be from the camp.

Police are saying 9, possibly 10 , killed by the gunman.

The New York Times is reporting that the terror group Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, is claiming responsibilty for the bombing in Oslo.

Police in Norway have confirmed that ten people were killed when a gunman opened fire indiscriminately on young people at a camp in Utoeya. Previous reports put the number of deaths at four.

Edit: They've changed this story to say "Police in Norway SAY at least 9...."

Just thinking.. surely he couldn't have been acting alone? Though the shooting started well after the bomb..

Here we are again. How to fight this?

 apparently they claimed it , then rescinded their claim ! 

I wouldn't have thought so Slinki. Maybe he was the mastermind/brains behind it?

I don't know that anyone can Col. It's just up to people to be extra vigilant and not 'crack'. Show them we will not give in
