Oslo Explosion: Blast Result of Massive Vehicle Bomb, Sources Say
ABC News ^ | July22,2011 | BRIAN ROSS

Posted on 07/22/2011 8:19:22 AM PDT by Hojczyk

The explosion that rocked a Norwegian government building today was result of a massive vehicle bomb, according to U.S. government sources on the scene.

Norwegian news reported one person died and several were injured in the apparent attack. The prime minister, whose office is in the building, survived the blast, a government spokesperson told The Associated Press.

Pictures, posted on Twitter, show several buildings with windows blown out. Multiple tweets described people bleeding in the streets.

No group has publicly taken responsibility for the blast and a U.S. counter-terrorism official said there is no indication yet of motive or suspects. A senior U.S. diplomat in Oslo said they believe all U.S. personnel in the country are safe and accounted for.

Great point. Sitting watching the fjord is a great recruiting tool for terrorists.

Sobering. (But, Obama’s Dept of Homeland Security sees no pattern here. No pattern at all. /sarchasm, that gaping whole between a liberal socialist’s ideals and the truth.)

Where is the list from?

Maybe now the Scandinavian countries will stop their coddling of muslims.

Most likely, it means they'll bend over even farther for the Muzzies. It happened in the aftermath of the WTC attacks, in the aftermath of the London 7/7 bombings, and in the aftermath of the Madrid train bombings.

You know, it is time for US to start terrorising THEM.

A well-placed device in some of their holiest places.

Try as I might, I just can’t think of ANYONE who would DO something like this...

Can someone help me out, here?

Ted Kazinski?

Timothy McVeigh?

Someone else whose first name starts with a 'T'?

re: Norwegians’ are very tough

HAWHAWHAW! Good grief. They can't take care of their women. They're completely emasculated.

There is an epidemic of rape in Scandinavian countries. One year, all rapes in Norway that had convctions had Muslim rapists. They are 15% of the population, that magic percentage when Muslim gangs start roaming the streets assaulting women.

Bah. Don't tell me about the pathetic Vikings of old...

Ted Kozinski and McVeigh pulled their last stunts in 1995.

By definition, if you need to “go back in time” 16 years to find a white guy bomb-terrorist, they’re no longer a statistically significant threat.

But moslems are.

Hell, Bill Ayers bombed the Pentagon, but I don’t think we need to cavity search white guys at the airport.

A funny thing about repressed anger is the way it can explode out of nowhere when it can no longer be contained. I would not be at all surprised to see younger generations in northern European nations engage in a sudden slaughter of every member of that Bedouin death cult they can lay their hands on. Might not happen, but it would not surprise me a bit if it did in one city and began spreading to others. People will only listen to government and its media minions for so long before their lyin’ eyes win the argument.

Nothin’ like flying body parts to change liberal attitudes.

This was copied off of the SkyNews Twitter from Ava Vidal (do not know who she is).

Huge explosion in Oslo #SkyNews already suggesting Muslims did it. Said their far right could be guilty but they’ll look at Muslims first.

That’s quite a list. And to think that we’ve only - maybe - heard of one or two of those incidents. Too bad our MSM is too busy protecting the commie in chief to worry about reporting these types of incidents. Wouldn’t want to get the non-muslem majority mad now, would we?

Yeah.

I have been posting some updates on the breaking news thread...

Terrible.

There is also now a shooting at labour party youth holiday camp. Several have been shot. A man dressed as a policeman entered the camp and started shooting at the kids. It’s on a small island just outside of Oslo.
