Actually there is very little damage.
Windows break easily when subjected to a pressure wave.
Key things to look for are shearing of metal and overstressed concrete- none of which are visible in any of the photos out there.
Bomb was similar to the one that took apart the Murrah building however this one was most likely just parked out in the street vice being snugged up against the building under a carport with panoramic entrance doors nearby.
This is a low order explosive device parked in the open that generated a free form hemispherical blast pattern.

I'm watching TV2 Nyhetskanalen right now. As far as I heard, the police surrounded a car at the airport and have arrested 3 people. Nothing confirmed yet.
Unreal. The police are telling people to get the hell out of downtown and limit their cellphone use!

Will McCants, who writes for Jihadica, a website that claims it is "documenting the Global Jihad", has claimed an "Amir Ghruzni" on a radical forum says the Oslo blast was a warning to the prime minister of Norway to withdraw troops from Khorasan. Khorasan is an historic region covering parts of Afghanistan among other countries.
17.01 More from Will McCants. He is now saying forum members are discussing the arrest of three suspects following a car chase.
NRK is now reporting that police are searching for a bomb outside TV2 offices in Oslo. There are also reports that Norwegian TV2 offices in Oslo have been ordered to evacuated.
The reason is so far unknown but the location is away from the bomb site.
More on the TV2 offices being evacuated - because a suspicious bag was found.

The Daily Telegraph's Andrew Hough has been speaking Oddbjorn By, a local, who says people suspect al-Qaeda are behind the attacks. The author said he had worked from home in a sheer stroke of good fortune, because of the bad weather.
He described how he felt the massive blast just a few miles away, which caused his house to violently shake.
Quote I felt this giant explosion and the house started to shake really badly.
I was about five km away and it was very powerful.
There is chaos now as all the roads into the city centre have been closed by police.
People are really frightened.”
