Norway: Blast near prime minister's office in Oslo

A large explosion has hit near government headquarters in the Norwegian capital Oslo.

The blast is thought to have caused damage to the offices of Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and a number of other official buildings.

Witnesses have said several people were injured in the incident in the centre of the city.

Pictures from the scene showed shattered windows and smoke drifting in the streets.

A journalist with Norwegian public radio station NRK said the headquarters of tabloid newspaper VG were also damaged.

"I see that some windows of the VG building and the government headquarters have been broken. Some people covered with blood are lying in the street," the Associated Press news agency quoted him as saying.

Edited for respect for the dead.

Norway have military in Afganistan as part of Nato and quite a few known Islamic radiacals live in Oslo. No one has admitted it. Eyewitnesses said they thought it was an earthquake the blast was so big. The PM has been taken into safety.

Shocking stuff indeed!

Auvers · 22-07-2011 02:12PM

I presume its retaliation for the three arseholes arrested a few weeks ago for preparing terrorist attacks

Aye, in all seriousness, you will probably hear it was some off-shoot consisting of a bunch of religious nutters.

It wasn't that big, but it did blow out a lot of windows in the surrounding area.

Similar scenes.

Actually, we don't know yet if it was a bomb. Could have been gas.

Duggy747 · 22-07-2011 02:17PM

Fùck, just by looking at the mess on the streets you could tell this was a huge explosion.

Hopefully, the casualties are low.

They're gonna need plasterers, window fitters, people with sweeping brushes etc.....off to pack me bags before some Irish company hires a load of ''interns'' to do all these jobs for free!

Lapin · 22-07-2011 02:25PM

Jesus I was there just a couple of weeks ago.

Why would anyone want to bomb Oslo ?

Sure when has anyone needed much of a reason to lash them up? It's still a wrong religion, isn't it?

(poor)attempt at humour. parodying someone who would immediately overreact against all muslims for something extremists did

Tabnabs · 22-07-2011 02:34PM

No second bomb (yet?), it was eyewitnesses hearing the masses of glass crashing to the street.

Biggins · 22-07-2011 02:34PM

Just to be fair, Gadaffi supporters has also been mentioned at a possibility.
