[QUOTE="Helge A. Bentsen, post: 33179, member: 263"] Re: WTF is going on in Norway? Well, there's been two incidents, and the police says that they are linked. First one was a large car bomb inside the parking garage or just outside the governements main offices and/or the ministyry of petroleum and enegy's offices. So far seven people is confirmed dead, lots of wonded. A couple of buildings have sustained huge damages, and there's debris and broken windows in a radius of at least 500 m. The drummer of one of my regular bands works in the building closest to the explotion, I saw his office in a picture, there was nothing left worth rescuing. Luckily we are in the middle of the holiday season, and most people, including him is on vacation. Downtown Oslo is in a lockdown right now, they are limiting traffic in and out of the city, all the emergency services are on high alert, and we are encouraged to stay home and limit use of mobile phones. If any of you have ever been at Rockefeller or Sentrum Scene, this happened around 500m away, so even down there there's some broken windos and debries. Second one was a shooting by a lone male disguised as a police officer. Apparantly he arrived at AUF's youth camp(AUF is the youth division of the labour party, currently one of the partys in the governement), said he was there in response of the first bomb, collected a lot of people around him and started shooting. Official number of deats are "a few" but eye-witnesses report 20 to 30 dead. A lot of people jumped in the ocean and tried to swim away, so the death toll is very uncertain. The army is currently doing search and rescue there, as well as searching for more gunmen and explosives.. They have apprahended the shooter, he is reportet to be a white, caucasian male, and speaks fluent norwegian. I feel sorry for those who are dead, wounded and their relatives. I do hope this has a more reasonable explanation, but I fear that this is the response we get from being engaged in wars thousands of km away in foreign contries. I'm glad I'm not in the governement who are responsible for putting us in this mess. [/QUOTE]
