The 32-year-old Norwegian man arrested for gunning down children on the holiday island of Utoya has been named locally as Anders Behring Breivik. Described as 6ft tall and blond, he is reported to have arrived on the island of Utoya and opened fire after beckoning several young people over in his native Norwegian tongue.
Reports suggest he was also seen loitering around the site of the bomb blast in Oslo two hours before the island incident. More than 30 are believed to have been killed - seven in Oslo and between 25 to 30 on Utoya Island, 50 miles north of the capital. Police have said the attacks do not appear to be linked to Islamist terrorism but they are linking the two incidents.
Initially, however, it was not known what the motives were - whether the gunman had been radicalised and was part of a militant Muslim group waging Jihad or was alternatively trying to further a home-grown political cause. The Oslo bomb blast was outside a government office, while the island of Utoya is reportedly owned by the Norwegian Labour Party.
Teenagers on the Norwegian holiday island of Utoya had to 'swim for their lives' and hide in trees when the gunman fired indiscriminately at them.

An obscure group called Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (Assistants of the Global Jihad) posted a message on an Islamist bulletin board called Smukh and may have uploaded a video to YouTube weeks ago several days ago in which they predicted the attack.
Ansar al-Jihads Abu Sulayman al-Nasir allegedly posted a message claiming responsibility for the Oslo attacks on the Arabic-language jihadist forum Shamikh. According to a partial translation by terrorism expert Will McCants of Jihadica, al-Nasir claims the attacks were in retribution for the occupation of Afghanistan by foreign troops and unnamed insults to the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Al-Nasir also threatens further attacks:
To me he resembles Wikileak guy ... Julian Assange.
Thanks, lj. Looks like I’m not the only one who smells a rat here.
I’ve got way too many windows open. So I can’t find where this was or who said it, but someone said Pamela Geller says it’s not the Fjordman (the word used). Maybe I’ll go look at Atlas Shrugged and see what she says. She knows jihad.
Oh, the Fjordman is a specific man Geller knows.
Nothing to do with the feller that actually killed these people (supposedly a lone wolf, hard to believe that.)
This is odd. A ‘’White, Right-Wing Extremist, Blond-Haired , Blue-Eyed, Christian Conservative’’(whew!) shoots up a whole bunch or a large majority of blond-haired, blue-eyed Christians/and/or descendant heritage of same, similar to himself. Why? Wouldn’t he have gone out and shot the ones who didn’t look like himself? I don’t get it. I do remember reading a few years back about warnings of al-Qeada using Westerners in ‘’home-grown’’ terror attacks. My prayers for the souls of all those young, beautiful children who’s lives have been snuffed out. May God bless and comfort their surviving families. How horrible.
He did not act alone. He puts together a sophisticated bomb, gets a bunch of firearms, gets a police uniform, and does this all in Europe.
It smells too much like a Reichstag Fire incident. The Left NEEDED something like this. Conservative parties had been making major gains, and were threatening to derail bailout talks for Greece, Portugal and the rest. The major bankers were in a panic. The Islamists were getting worried that Islamic immigration could be cut off.
Now this incident conveniently comes along. It stinks. It's FAR too convenient.
