Oslo bomb blast
The Norwegian Prime Minister's office in Oslo has been hit by an explosion, according to Reuters news agency.
Nearby offices are apparently being being evacuated after windows were blown out of the 17 storey building.
:/ Some of the pictures look pretty nasty

Is it confirmed as a bomb?
I guess many people will be thinking the same think after that Norwegian paper published some pictures of youknowwho and there was outrage and boycotts in that part of the world again.

Except that was nearly 2 years ago ... why now? Not saying it's not, but let's get some facts first. If it turns out to be Al Qaeda that will be a bit of a blow to the US's insistance they are a spent force.

Some apparent 'expert' on Sky News reckons it's not their culpability but their vulnerability
Apparent lack of any real form of security therefore a pretty easy target!!

...NATO member Norway has sometimes in the past been threatened by leaders of al-Qaeda for its involvement in Afghanistan. It has also taken part the NATO bombing of Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi has threatened to strike back in Europe.
[/B]However, political violence is virtually unknown in the country.[/B]
David Lea, Western Europe analyst, at Control Risks said: “It’s very difficult to tell what has happened. There certainly aren’t any domestic Norwegian terrorist groups although there have been some al-Qaeda-linked arrests from time to time.
“They are in Afghanistan and were involved in Libya, but it’s far too soon to draw any conclusions.”
The blast comes as the Scandinavian country has grappled with a series of homegrown terror plots linked to al-Qaeda, and six years after an uproar over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in neighboring Denmark.
Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he's deported from the Nordic country.
The indictment centered on statements that Mullah Krekar — the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam — made to various media, including American network NBC.
Danish authorities say they have foiled several terror plots linked to the 2005 newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that triggered protests in Muslim countries.
Last month, a Danish appeals court on Wednesday sentenced a Somali man to 10 years in prison for breaking into the home of a cartoonist who caricatured the Prophet Muhammad.
not looking good!

Sounds to me like it was just picking on a soft target, we have had our fair share and are still a target but I do believe that despite our lack of confidence in whatever authority we have, the security services are working hard to protect us and are a lot more intelligent and capable than the home grown cretins that are apt to try stuff like this over here in the name of whatever fictional character that has been slighted.
