Video
» 55 comments

Earlier today, an explosion blew out several windows at a 17-story building housing the offices of Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Although Stoltenberg was not in the building at the time of the blast, early reports say dozens of others have been injured. Norwegian news sources are confirming several deaths but, so far, no exact number has been given.

According to The Telegraph, the damage appears to be the result of a car bomb and a vehicle was found mangled near the impacted building.

Nearby offices have been evacuated.

CNN has video from witnesses:

    Can we assume this was done by an angry white dude upset over political cartoons published in a newspaper.

    Liberal Democrats blame CHRISTIAN Extremists!

    - because they’re not allowed to say anything against the REAL TERRORISTS – or they’ll offend their American-Hating supporters!

    Do you have any idea how many people have been blown into bits and pieces for ”sins against Islam” in the past 50 years?

  • Norbit

    Yes, let’s use the Democrats defense: APPEASEMENT!

    - and always reference Timothy McVeigh whenever the thousands of victims slaughtered in the name of “the peaceful religion” are brought up!

    You Dummy! No concern over the deceased or injured, the first thing that comes up in your mind is to point fingers.

    Is it alright with you if I spend a few moments focusing on the victims, reflecting on their lives, what is going on in the minds of their family and friends, praying a bit? Is it alright with you if I don’t rush to exploit this tragedy for self-serving political gain? Would you mind if I don’t rush in to support your self-serving political agenda?

    Frankly, I find your rights inappropriate, ill-timed and disgraceful. This is about the victims, their families and friends, not you and the advancement of your extreme rightist agenda.

    Damn tea partiers……

    Maybe  sarah  palin  had  some  part in  this  or  maybe it was  rupert  murdoch.

    Norway is very politically correct when it comes to Muslims. This the Muslim way of saying “thank you”.

  • Harry Flashman

    Prayers for the victims and their families, innocents all.

    I wonder who could be responsible for this, the killing, maiming, wounding, and terrorizing innocent people who are just minding their own business and living their lives?

    Mormons, maybe? Or Lutherans? Could be Catholics. You know those darn Catholics are up to no good. Maybe it’s Buddhists. Or Hindus. Oh, hey….Druids!

    That must be it. Druids.

    Let’s all watch the media turn itself inside out trying to keep from saying the word “Islam” in connection with this.

    A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security
    characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely
    terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth
    that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality
    Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut
    allergies.

    Must have been some tea party members visiting Oslo who did this?  Or did Sarah Palin put a map of Oslo on her web site?   Didn’t Bush visit Oslo once?  

    Come on, MSNBC, show us how you connect this to conservatives.  You’re a one-trick pony and we all know the trick.  If you can’t link a disaster to a Republican, you don’t want to cover it (witness your pathetic coverage of the tsunami in Japan). 

    We all remember how you covered the Arizona shooting (where the shooter was actually a far left zealot – but that didn’t stop you from blaming Palin).  

    We remember all your stories about violent tea party activists — even though not a single violent act was ever committed at a tea party. 

    We all remember your (later discredited) smears on Andrew Breitbart, who was accused by you of everything from hacking to phone-tapping — all later disproved.  

    Come on, let’s see your latest half-baked smear…..How do you connect the dots from Oslo to Palin?  

  • Anonymous

    Seriously, there’s a tragedy in Oslo and, somehow, we commenters are making this about our politics and ‘violent muslims’.

    For once, why don’t we consider the victims and what this means for them, their families, and their country.  And for those that are already blaming Islam, please wait until we actually have an idea of what happened before you start laying blanket blame on an entire religion.

    You know, it was a Democratic president who ended up getting Osama, right?

    Her gotcha question to the Republican might just work this time:

    “Do you have a degree in car bombing ?”

  • Moderate

    Oslo police must think it is a terrorist attack.

    OSLO, Norway — Police say they are sending anti-terror police to a youth camp outside Oslo after reports of a shooting there following the bomb blast at the government headquarters.The news site VG reported that a man dressed in a police uniform opened fire at the camp. It says several people were injured.

    ya just the kind of people subhuman mooslims like to slaughter

    No, it was our intelligence Dept. and Seal Team #6 who got Osama while a Democrat President happened to be in the White House. Obama had nothing to do with it other than giving the OK to kill him.

    Well Big Sis did warn us that those white, America, males are the terrorists to watch out for.

    The AP reports that a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges this
    week against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians
    with death if he is deported from the country. The indictment centered
    on statements that Mullah Krekar — the founder of the Kurdish Islamist
    group Ansar al-Islam — made to various media, including the American
    network NBC.

    A credit of….’Success or Failure’  of such magnitude, is always awarded to the sitting President(Dem or Rep.)…..however it is those that are serving deserve the credit.  Just wondering, did you give Pres.Bush credit for the capture of Saddam Hussein, or just the Armed Forces involved??

  • Harry Flashman

    Europe is slowly wakening to the nightmare they and their liberal , muticultural policies don’t work.

    The only way multicultualism works is if everyone involved wants to play by the rules and respect each other. Islam doesn’t work that way. Thay take liberal philosophies and twist them to their political and cultural advantage even to the point of rape and murder. Why? Because their religion tells them that it isn’t a crime to rape or murder an infidel and in fact, it is their duty in order to subjugate them to Islam.

    The Islamists in Europe aren’t immigrants. They’re invaders. And if Europe doesn’t act now it will soon be too late if it isn’t already.

    And before you lefties condemn me for this, do a little research. Ten minutes on Google or Bing will verify everything I’m saying.

    Obviously a Hindu, Jew, Christian,Zoroastrian, or a Buddist did this. No one else could possibly be responsible.

    “A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, according to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute that studies terrorism. The message said the attack was a response to Norwegian forces’ presence in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad. “We have warned since the Stockholm raid of more operations,” the group said, according to Mr. McCants’ translation, apparently referring to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010. “What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come.” The claim could not be confirmed. ”

    Peaceful Muslims?

    I’m shocked- this is unbelievable!

    Yes, let us not think of those who were responsible for this attack; let’s instead focus on the victims to determine exactly what they did to cause people to hate them so much so we can reason with the perpetrators to determine how we can better ourselves so they will not attack us agin.
    Thank you Phil Donahue.

    So the attack was not political? Just like the 9/11 attack wasn’t political?
