4. This reminds me of OKC same story, different language.

9. All the so called progressive parties on this planet better stop

pussyfooting about their philosophies and pandering to the right wing 'terror, terror, terror' monsters that permeate the right wingers on this planet.

This is what feat leads to - everywhere.

I'm taking bets that this RW lunatic was trying to kill the Prime Minister.
Note - explosives were also found on the island - and the PM was supposed to speak there tomorrow.

3. I know that there are some neo-Nazi types

in Norway and Sweden - one of them was a very talented metal musician jailed in the 90s for murdering a rival Wotanist/Nazi musician. Perhaps this dipshit is affiliated with such a group? In any case, he will be getting a nice lifelong tour of the Norwegian prison system.

8. That would be Varg Vikernes/Burzum.

he has both confirmed and denied involvement in these groups over the years. He claims not to be a neo-nazi, but a Pagan nationalist (lol). Murder, church burnings...and all around swell guy. :crazy:

And I could be wrong, but I think the longest sentence allowed under Norwegian law is 21 years in jail.

5. So much for profiling.

6. Small bit of black humor here, but PM Stoltenberg is doing it all wrong -

he's supposed to be in the air, hiding out and flying to more and more remote military bases for at least another 12 hours.........

7. We can't expect him to get it right

That is old Europe, after all.
