July 23
A massive car bomb ripped through the government district in Oslo, close to the offices of Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, killing seven people.
Hours later, a nearby island summer camp for the youth wing of the ruling Labour Party, AUF, was attacked by a lone gunman who managed to shoot at least 85 people. So far, 92 people have lost their lives.
Disguised as a police officer, the gunman is said to have beckoned many of his victims over, shooting them when they approached.
Suspect 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik said he thought what he did was horrible, but necessary.... authorities have not ruled out the possibility that someone else was involved in the shooting at a political youth retreat on Utoya island.
Obviously more info to come as they investigate further...

This is unbelievable, I heard a little something on the radio Friday, but last night on the 11pm news I couldn't believe how bad it was.
I'm sure more will come out today.

Did you see that he wrote a 1500 page manifesto before he did his dirty deed? Ranting on about a 'cleansing' of Europe of all Muslims, etc...where all present heads of government were deposed, and pontificating on pre-marital sex...This guy is a whack-job!
He even bought a farm so that he could purchase the fertilizers for his bombs without arousing suspicion.
And he confessed to the bombing and shooting of innocent kids on that island!
Some people just don't deserve a fair trial before sentencing.

The fact that he dressed up as a police officer just makes me sick. People came when he called them because they thought they could trust him. It's just unbelievable.
I just read something on the CBC about how the gunman said his actions were awful but necessary. I don't even know where to begin with that.

Yes, absolutely sickening about the uniform...apparently he's been posting such things for years! How did he slip under the radar, I wonder? Although I guess if he didn't make direct threats there was no reason to detain him.....So tragic...

My moms friend is from norway and she's actually going back because she heard this ! She's a total mess, crying and sobbing. I feel so bad for her & her family. She really took pride in Norway.
That is a SICK thing to do, he needs to get evaluated mentally then thrown in the slammer.

It's weird someone would admit to something so freely.. something definitely isn't right in his brain.

I read the maximum prison sentence would be 21 years.That's just got to be wrong.

I'm not normally a bloodthirsty person but I can't help but think how difficult it must have been for the responding officers to accept his surrender rather than emptying their guns into him.

This guy was a sociopath to the max. I was just reading that he used special bullets meant to desintigrate within the body in order to do the most internal damage possible. The police said that surgeons have not removed 1 intact bullet from any of the people they have treated.
