I can confirm. Not only are the BBC relaying reports that someone shot up a Youth Camp disguised as a police officer, they also briefly had someone on who said there were several such attacks across the city.

The BBC made sure on the second claim to put it out there as unverified and without much merit, but that's what some of the BBC sources have been telling them. That several people are out there disguised as Police who are going to shoot up x, y or x.

They were also claiming earlier that they had reports there were several possible undetonated bombs throughout the city.

Could be baseless but the BBC have been saying what OP has relayed

1730:

A quick recap: Police in Norway have confirmed that a bomb has ripped through buildings in central Oslo, killing two and injuring at least 15.

There are separate unconfirmed reports that a gunman has attacked a youth camp outside the city.

That's from BBC live website. But I can tell you the reporter on the BBC stream has had some interesting people on with some interesting claims over the last half an hour. Some very serious claims(multiple gun men across the city dressed as police etc)

This is definitely odd, Two major breaking News story's coming from Norway. Let's hope these are Random incidents, and not Coordinated terrorist attacks. Hope everyone comes out of this ok. have some Close friends in Norway, of course nowhere near Utoyen, or in Oslo.

The reporter just repeated the shooting thing again

www.bbc.co.uk...

Can watch it there. Some idiot bint woman is saying "hang on, this may not be linked"(what a retard)..

Second bomb, too.

Second blast

They're saying that he was dressed as a policeman and asked people for ID.... and then started shooting.


Man, this is ****** up...

Definitely connected. Lets just hope the other callers are hyping and this is the end of the awful incident!

"a person apparently dressed as a police man has apparently open fired on the youth there", caller on BBC just now.

"a labour party youth camp has been attacked by a gunman believed to be using a police uniform" - BBC reporter clarifying the statement just now

Caller says a local radio station has confirmed with local police and primeminister that the claims above are fact.

What news station you on mate? It certainly sounds coordinated. Seems like someone is after the Norwegian President. Either that or just a terrorist group trying to target Norway hard for w/e reason

Apparently the Norwegian PM was to attend the youth meeting on the island?
Also the former PM WAS actually there...

Damn.


also 4 people dead..... and the shooting is still going on.

Plus there are reports of other attacks... they're waiting for confirmation.

1739: AFP report police say Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg had been due to attend a rally of his Labour Party's youth section on the island of Utoya where a gunman reportedly opened fire earlier.

Just now from the BBC live text stream on their website. Definately someone is after the PrimeMinister

That's what I'm hearing too(about other attacks, gun attacks I'm hearing). Very very peculiar. Doesn't seem like terrorist Islam form at all, tbh. That was my original suspicion, but it doesn't fit the traditional bill at all

I know man, even though the news channels have already almost confirmed it's Al Qaeda

I wonder just was is going on man?

BBC just confirmed the Norwegian prime minister was due tomorrow and the former primeminister was the guest speaker today she has UN links.

Evrybody being evacuated from the island now.
