At least 80 dead so far. Great Lord of Chaos Send a noteboard - 23/07/2011 03:09:38 AM
There has been a large explosion in Oslo. The explosion occurred near Government buildings. So far there are no reported casualties but there are several people reported injured.

It has not been confirmed that this is an attack, but the media are certainly leaning that way.

Hopefully none of our community members in Norway were not caught up in this.

Edit: There is now one confirmed death and as Wibble says below, police are know saying that it was a bomb

why cant we call him a terrorist? - 23/07/2011 08:01:33 PM 580 Views

Very much true - 23/07/2011 09:31:14 PM 582 Views
Actually, it's more like "too bad the maximum Norwegian prison sentence is 21 years". - 23/07/2011 09:33:52 PM 648 Views

Which almost without exception makes a lot more sense. - 23/07/2011 10:04:48 PM 584 Views
I have a feeling - 24/07/2011 04:08:34 AM 582 Views
Not at all. Luckily, we don't have death penalty - 24/07/2011 09:16:28 AM 644 Views
