Many major politicians could be injured or dead. The PMs was core of the blast. Also VG, the newspaper, suffered damage. Also NHD-building.

In the government district, in or close to the Ministry of Finance. Windows blown out on a number of floors. The area has been sealed off, no through traffic. The PM is said to be in safety.

There are reports that several car bombs exploded simultaneously.

Another picture that gives a better idea of the damage, I reckon bomb in a vehicle outside rather than inside the building, type of damage reminds me of the IRA Docklands bomb

Shocking. Who would want to influence the Norwegian government with something like this? What was under discussion in their parliament at the time that this would serve to change their course, or distract from in their society?

An aside, I was served a creepy, Baphomet-inspired ad for tourism while reading an online paper's breaking news about this event. Probably SOP for an occult, doubleday event such as the one under discussion-- recall 7/7 bus advertising if I remember correctly.

According to the newspaper Dagbladet, police at the scene say the attack appears to have been directed against the Department of Oil and Energy.

Just listening to the BBC - they are on the job - already speculating that "one might have to look to the 'cartoon route' in Denmark that may have provoked this attack".

Or maybe they don't know that Norway is not Denmark. :roll:

Brilliant. More of hollywood's dark lens.. the angles (and probable copy theft) are astounding. I'll email the editor ASAP.

Reuters is feeding this line apparently, for some additional two minutes of hate against Gadaffi:

NATO member Norway has sometimes in the past been threatened by leaders of al-Qaeda for its involvement in Afghanistan. It has also taken part the NATO bombing of Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi has threatened to strike back in Europe.


The threat is unattributed. Does anyone remember such a threat or could this be taken as intelligence narrative for a pending invasion?

Interesting quote from an Oil Ministry employee:

"The building I was in looks like after the Oklahoma bombing in the United States."

July 2nd 2011:

In an address relayed to some 100,000 supporters in Tripoli's Green Square on Friday, Gaddafi urged NATO to halt its bombing campaign or risk seeing Libyan fighters descend on Europe "like a swarm of locusts or bees."

"Retreat, you have no chance of beating this brave people," Gaddafi said.

"They can attack your homes, your offices and your families, which will become military targets just as you have transformed our offices, headquarters, houses and children into what you regard as legitimate military targets," he said.

But of course Western spooks can spin this or exploit it any way they want.
