The intended target.

There is a difference between terrorism and casualty of war.

Not to be the devils advocate here, but why shouldn't people be allowed to voice their opinions in times like these?

Local reactions, judging from facebook, is that we need to cut down on immigration and throw out people from the Arab/Muslim world. Bomb them all to hell. Etc etc.

People simply does not seem to look beyond their own nose.

I'm from Norway, and if you look at the big picture, we brought this on ourselves.

What's the difference between bombing innocent civilians in Libya and Afghanistan and a bomb going off in Oslo? Nothing.

That's just a difference of perception/semantics you mean.

In all wars its mostly the civilians who die.

it was probably an attack on the PM, but the shooter wouldn't be able to escape from the island, maybe that's why he's going on a shooting rampage. The planning of this scares me, he planned to be on the island w the PM so it would be hard to reach....

Intent matters in crime. If you are targeting innocent people for no other reason than to cause death and terror, then that's the most despicable thing possible.

Why haven't any news helicopters flown over the island yet?

Or why haven't they sent a military helicopter there and sniped the bastard who is shooting these young people?

This is so frustrating :/ My childhoos friend lives 2 houses away from the bombed building, she is all alone and scared Her family is going to drive to norway to pick her up and take her home I think :/

Can they send some sort of boats to pick up the people swimming? Like the Coast guard or something?

Props to the police though, who give all the info they have. Also nice to see that their priorities are to help people, not one person so far has talked about revenge and so on. Very calming.

I thought I'd go ahead and translate some of these tweets and reports etc from the Utøya incident-

- Vi er under angrep, sa en person som VG Nett kontaktet før han la på og brøt samtalen
- We are under attack, said a person who contacted VG Net(newspapers website), before he hanged up the phone.

- Vi satt og snakket om bomben som smalt i Oslo nettopp, så hører jeg masse skyting. Folk er skutt, hulker han frem.
- we were sitting around talking about the bomb that just exploded in oslo, and then i heard lots of shots fired, people are shot, he cries
