Explosion in Oslo - govt. headquarters hit

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 14:57

Reports of a massive explosion in the govt. offices in Oslo just minutes ago. It seems the Prime Ministers offices are hit. No official numbers on wounded/casualties yet but several people injured.

It is now confirmed it is a bomb in downtown Oslo that has gone off, not in the govt. offices but nearby.

that is going to bad. i hope it is just the two cases, and the Emergency Services are geared to deal with an event like this. have there been earlier incidents of bombing in Norway?

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 15:01

Apparently one or more car bombs. The Norwegian PM confirmed to be safe.

No I've never seen anything like this. Downtown Oslo looks like a war zone at the moment. Still no reports of casualties.

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 15:03

That second photo is the govt. offices in Oslo.

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 15:04

Conflicting reports regarding the number of explosions. The blast was felt several miles away.

R.Nilsson7 · 22nd July 2011, 15:06

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 15:07

Apparently the first explosion happened at around 4.30PM local time and the second explosion half an hour later. A lot of conflicting reports at the moment.

Any idea as to who is responsible for this?

buckooo1978 · 22nd July 2011, 15:22

who would likely be responsible for this?

isnt Norway neutral?

philipb231190 · 22nd July 2011, 15:28

The amount of damage looks massive. The casualties could be quite high judging from how that building looks

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 15:28

Norwegian TV reporting of casualties. No numbers or official confirmation yet!

Shot in the dark; Islamic fundamentalists. There was the issue of offensive cartoons that depicted the Mulsim Prophet in an unflattering light.

buckooo1978 · 22nd July 2011, 15:33

fecking hell - i thought the guy behind those was Danish....

looks pretty bad damage - bound to be a lot of casualties

Laphroaig · 22nd July 2011, 15:35

Crazy stuff. Surely there are casualties.

A publicity-seeking Norwegian editor of a Christian magazine joined in to piss off as many muslims as possible. And we've been one of USA's lapdogs during their crusades.

Reports suggesting a terrorist attack.

SteveJ · 22nd July 2011, 15:52

Libya already being blamed in some quarters. Alternatively, anywhere that has a lot of oil.

it's too early to be playing the blame game isn't it?

Someone taking Tour de France a little bit too seriously?

In all seriousness, despicable. Hope they kill (not catch, a prison sentence in Norway is like a vacation) the cnuts responsible for this.

Lester Freamon · 22nd July 2011, 15:56

At least two dead so far.

I_live_cement · 22nd July 2011, 15:59

Looks like a hell of a lot of damage, what sort of home made bomb could have caused that?

RedMist99 · 22nd July 2011, 15:59

I suspect News Intl are behind this to divert attention

utdalltheway · 22nd July 2011, 16:02

looks bad alright. hope not too many causualties

'They're talking about a carbomb on the TV now (black car parked outside the building), but they're all guessing - it's chaos in Oslo at the moment.'

Pogue Mahone · 22nd July 2011, 16:04

Christ, that's awful.

If they didn't get any warning beforehand there could be a horrendous amount of casualties. Thoughts are with our Noggie caftards. I hope none of you have friends/families affected.

Seconded. Be safe, folks.

Saliph · 22nd July 2011, 16:06

I think the Muhammad cartoons were published in a book here in Norway not many weeks ago. This could be payback for that.

Almost certainly not a "horrendous" amount of casualties. There are reports of fatalities, but not very many, and maybe a few dozen injured. A lot for Norway, though. We've never had a terrorist attack.

Laphroaig · 22nd July 2011, 16:12

Pillory was 300 meters away from the explosion, but is home safe now.

Dr. Dwayne · 22nd July 2011, 16:12

Good lord, after Canada, Norway is the last place I'd expect to see somthing like this.

So sorry to see it.

Laphroaig · 22nd July 2011, 16:13

It's confirmed that it was a bomb.

Two casualties confirmed so far.

Saliph · 22nd July 2011, 16:13

Islam has been pissed off with us for a while now. Norway is certainly one of the western countries where I could see something like this happening.

- We've pissed people off by printing Muhammad cartoons
- We're involved both in Afghanistan and in Libya
- We've given the Nobel peace prize to controversial (and undeserving) people

Just to name a few.

Laphroaig · 22nd July 2011, 16:15

Islam is pissed off with us!

Waltraute · 22nd July 2011, 16:18

I'm echoing the sentiments above -- absolutely horrified by the news, and my thoughts are with the Norwegian people and of course all of our Norwegian Caffites and their families.

Following this through Aftenposten's website at the moment. It feels unreal.

Laphroaig · 22nd July 2011, 16:21

"Many are dead."

evra · 22nd July 2011, 16:24

Islam isn't pissed off with Norway, a select group of simpletons with absolutely no sense of perspective (or humour) are pissed off.
