[kj] Norway

[sade1]

Thanks to Neil and everyone else posting updates. It's just all so unbelievable. 
All Luv to Norway from over here (my first GF was from there).
 
Anyone know if there are there any english-language Norwegian/Oswegian newspapers or online news sites providing good coverage?

Went into centre of Oslo today, it is totally surreal. Half of the centre is closed off,
there are armed troops in full battle uniform everywhere, every single store and
shopping centre had closed. There are windows broken in buildings that were 
a mile away from the bomb, it was that powerful. The terrorist had bought six tonnes of
fertiliser, they think he only used up to one tonne in this bomb.
We went into the cathedral because my girlfriend wanted to light a candle, and the entire royal
family came in. (So now I've been to church with the Queen of Norway, just to add to the
surreal mood). People are just wandering around in the streets crying.

But what is really shocking people is the realisation that the summer camp with the
teenagers was the main target all along. The bomb was just a distraction and was a way
for him to gain access to the island (dressed as a cop) where the camp was. The stories coming out now
are giving me chills. He was on the island for 90 minutes, hunting down the teenagers
and executing them. He shot them all twice as well to make sure they were dead.
Some ran into their tents and he opened the tents one by one, killing them all. When he
first arrived, he gathered as many together as he could, saying he had information
about the security situation in Oslo. About 50 kids gathered around him, and then he
opened fire with a machine gun. One guy in this group who escaped said at least
30 were shot in this opening attack.

Its all just... really fucking shit.
