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!

Could it be retaliation for the cartoon of Prophet Mohammed? They did want to punish Norway for that. Perhaps to teach others not to do the same thing as Norway so they set Norway as an example.

well its nothing new for intelligence to do dirty tricks to keep other countries involved in war that are not in the national interest. like a few years back when germeny and france wanted to bail on afghanistan it was leaked that the cia was going to put lots of news stories out in france about how women were being abused to get support for the war there because of frances liberal outlooks.
in germany they had to try a different trick because of germanys conservative nature so they put out stories about how germany would be flooded with islamic immigrants if they didnt keep supporting the war.
How do you work that out? The more you fight the more you get the asylumn seeker's coming on in!
now with isolationist countries or ones leaning towards isolationism they will normally blow something up in those countries to convince people isolationism wont work. it is a lame and played out trick but we will see if it works in norway.
Norway isn't isolationist, it's pro-immigration (read non-white) and has been since the liberal's got into power! This is the writing on the wall for that pipe-dream.

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.
