    You have become a thanks whore!
    Is a thanks whore not one who gives thanks liberally? I thought the thanks whore was the person who went from post to post thanking as he goes.

    Surely the best term to describe someone seeking thanks would be a thanks stud or something.

    By their standards I'm impressed. And to be fair, Fox News has an average of every two minutes.:D

    Every son and their mother of fringe radical groups will make comments like that between now and the end of human existence.

    When stuff like this happens, I always wonder - what do the attackers think this is going to achieve? I'm pretty sure murdering innocent people and wrecking havoc in a capital city isn't going to get people on their side.

    I can't see the logic in it. Then again, there may not be any.

    wiki: "Propaganda of the deed (or propaganda by the deed, from the French propagande par le fait) is a concept that promotes physical violence against political enemies as a way of inspiring the masses and catalyzing revolution."

    That's essentially the point.

    Police are saying they believe the person(s) responsible for the bomb to be foreign, according to the BBC.
    But the attacker in Utoya, now arrested, looked Norwegian, NRK reports

    Apparently police are saying there may be explosives at the youth camp and it looks like several young people/children have already been killed:(
    Hope the scum behind these attacks rot in hell.

    The scale of the operation, the timing, the organisation, the huge explosions, surely some substantial group are behind this.

    Cowards, whoever it is.

    Public transport in and out of Oslo has been halted, and there are car searches occurring on the roads to the airport.

    It worked in Spain didn't it ? Norway is a tolerant, liberal country, which makes it an easy target. Not entirely unlike Ireland. I think in one way it does work by creating a climate of fear. In this case it will depend on the Norwegian medium term reaction to be honest. I really hope it works totally against those responsible and their supporters and all of their apologists.

    Not to get too OT, but the Spanish reaction to the 2004 Madrid bombing had more to do with domestic political wrangling over the conservative party (wrongly) attributing blame to ETA than the bombing itself.

    A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (the Helpers of the Global Jihad), issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, according to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at CNA, a research institute that studies terrorism. The message said the attack was a response to Norwegian forces' presence in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad. "We have warned since the Stockholm raid of more operations," the group said, apparently referred to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010, according to Mr McCants' translation. "What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come." The claim could not be confirmed.
    The New York Times has more on the claim of responsibility by an Islamist group

    Not that I would be one to speculate, but this sounds like it was something from the far right Norwegian nationalists – I wasn't sure what to think when I heard about the bombings but the ID on the shooter seems pretty ironclad
