Maybe the terrorist attack was coordinated with a political group who sent the gunman during the confusion and panic that the bomb created. Could be two forces at work here working together?
From the pictures we saw filmed, most of those 20-30 people where floating in the water, so it seems likely he shot them as they where trying to swim away.

There is plenty of reasons if you look at it.
Libya, Afghanistan & Iraq, then just a nationalists and all that stuff. But for now, it's pointless to speculate. But i agree with the statement about Norway.

No one "deserves" these kinds of attacks. No matter what you think about politics or wars, it has absolutely nothing to do with the children and other innocent individuals who get killed in terrorism.

With one guy? with a rifle and a hand gun? That would be impressive. Knee jerk reaction is this isnt true but its also not impossible. But if it is true its not just a crazy with a gun. Contary to popular belief its not a simple thing as point shoot and kill. If a person get kill shots on 20 moving targets hes been trained and trained well.
According to witnesses, the gunman executed many of the victims and got people to come towards him..
Besides, it doesn't take much training to kill 20 people using an assault rifle with optics. 20 shots on a crowd of people really isn't hard. It doesn't take a "well trained" Special Operations operator or something. Look at the VA Tech shooting. That guy killed around 30 people with handguns - no assault rifle. All it takes is plenty of ammunition and about a week at a shooting range to learn how to efficiently shoot targets from 50-100m out.
Anyway, I'm not reading 20+ kills. So far there are 7 confirmed deaths.
Killing another human being and shooting at a practice range aren't the same thing at fucking all. I can cut a piece of meat but I sure as hell can't slit a throat. Every army has special training to make soldiers be able to shoot at targets without hesitating, as they found out a fucking majority couldn't shoot at the nazis in WWII.
It doesn't take a week at the shooting range to murder 30 people, who the fuck do you think you're kidding?

7 confirmed from the bomb, 5 from the shooting. Witnesses report there are way more death b/c of the shooting. They claim they see a lot of dead bodies.

Hmm? Well sure, it takes a lunatic. But I wasn't addressing that. Didn't you read the quote to which I was responding? It read: "It must have been a highly trained..." or something of that nature. I simply replied that the act of hitting that many targets does NOT require "highly trained professionals".
It requires a fanatic/lunatic with about a week's worth of weapons practice at a gun range.

an assault rifle with optics isnt as easy to use as u think. VA tech shooter hand them in small classroom not out in the open totally different situation. not sayin hes spec ops though dude dont get me wrong. Im just sayin its not sum guy tht picked up a gun one day and decided to shoot some people.

The gunman has been captured quite some time ago. They're still trying to account for the 700 that were at Utøya at the time.
My condolences go to the victims and their close ones. Gotten tons of phone calls today.. This happend far away from me. My friend is in Oslo. But he's okay. His brother was very close though.
And what's happending in utøya is connected to this. Sad to see this.
