Norway attacks: Oslo hit by bomb explosion and youths shot at camp

[been]

they should focus more on the tragedy aspect of it and hold the politics for a different time

You think the bombing was a distraction, and the real target were the campers, or someone among the campers?

LONDON (Reuters)- Security experts say suspicion is likely to fall on both Islamists and right-wing extremists following a deadly bombing and a shooting at a political gathering in tranquil Norway.

Just that on the BBC. Something doesn't makes sense here. 80 people? from a single shooting in a non confined area like a camp ground? I could see maybe up to a dozen or so people, but even with automatic rifles and many spare magazines, how many people can you kill once they start running after the first shots?

I think there was more than one person involved in this.

It was on an island in the middle of a lake. No where to run. Initial reports say he lured victims close by pretending to be a LEO, then opened fire. Sad deal.

I can't understand why anyone would want to hurt kids.

looked it up, no provision for CCW in norway a hunting license requires 30 hr of classes interesting that if you take your weapon out it public it must remain concealed and under the owners direct supervision at all times.
a safe is required in the home and LEOs inspect to ensure it is installed properly.http://www.dvc.org.uk/dunblane/andrew.html

And the police there don't normally carry firearms. Imagine a whole nation as unsafe as one of our college campuses.
