The 2011 Norway attacks consisted of a bomb explosion that occurred in Regjeringskvartalet, the government quarter of Oslo, Norway, on Friday, 22 July 2011 outside the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other government office buildings[2] and a subsequent shooting incident on the island of Utøya in Tyrifjorden,Buskerud. A Norwegian man, 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, was arrested for the shooting at Utøya.[3] The international community expressed its support for Norway and condemned the attacks. There were at least 87 deaths in the attacks, most of them shooting victims at the Utøya youth camp.[4][5][6]

[edit]Oslo explosion
Reports initially suggested that car bombs[7] exploded outside the office of Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other government office buildings such as the Oil Ministry[7] and Ministry of Finance,[7] with many windows blown out. There are mixed reports as to whether there might have been several explosions.[8] Stoltenberg was unharmed in the blast.[9] Norway’s finance minister, Sigbjørn Johnsen, was on holiday in Denmark at the time.[10] The blast was heard at least 7 kilometres away.[7]
The street surrounding the area affected by the explosion was filled with glass and debris following the explosion. The wreckage of a car was sighted near one of the affected buildings. A giant cloud of white smoke was reported as a fire continued to burn in the Oil Ministry. Following the explosion, police cleared the area and searched for any additional explosive devices.[11] Police urged people to evacuate central Oslo.[12]
[edit]Casualties
Seven deaths have been confirmed from the Oslo blast,[9] with fifteen people injured[13][14] and eleven seriously.[15] A doctor at Oslo University Hospital said hospital staff were treating injuries to people's heads, chests and abdomens.[16]
State Secretary Hans Kristian Amundsen said that fewer people than usual were in the area because the bombing took place on a public holiday, which may have mitigated the death toll.[9] Also July is the main vacation month for most Norwegians.[17]
[edit]Impact on transportation
All roads into Oslo downtown area were closed as security officials evacuated people from the area and warned Oslo residents to stay away from the city center and limit their usage of mobile phones due to concerns of another potential terrorist attack.[18] Public transport in and out of the city was also halted,[19] with an email communication with the BBC from a traveller indicating that police checks were in operation on the road to Oslo airport.[20] Police also conducted searches of cars at the airport,[21] though it remained open.[22] All trains[clarification needed] have been shut down after a suspicious package was found close to the tracks.[23] The offices of TV 2 were evacuated after a suspicious package was found outside the building.[24]
[edit]Utøya shooting massacre
Approximately two hours after the Oslo explosion,[9] Anders Behring Breivik[citation needed] was about 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of Oslo, to the lake of Tyrifjorden, where he took a ferry to the island of Utøya[citation needed] and the location of[9] the Labour Party'sannual Workers' Youth League (AUF) youth summer camp. Once there, he engaged in a random shooting spree amidst the campers before finally being apprehended. Police believe the two incidents are related.[9][25]
While dressed as a police officer, Breivik asked people to gather round him before indiscriminately firing his weapons,[26][27] killing and injuring numerous people. He first shot people on the island and later started shooting the escaping people in the water.[28] A spokesman for the National Police Directorate under the Ministry of Justice and Police reported that most of the casualties were youths of about 15 and 16 years old;[29]according to NRK, witnesses report the man beckoning the youths before shooting them.[30] Some witnesses on the island were reported to have hidden in bathrooms or undergrowth, communicating by text message to avoid giving their positions away to the gunman.[31]
At approximately 03:50 (CEST) on 23 July 2011, NRK and TV2, the two primary Norwegian broadcasters, broadcast a live press conference from the Sentrum politistasjon in Oslo where Norway's National Police Commissioner Øystein Mæland confirmed the number of fatalities at Utøya to have reached "at least 80" with the count expected to increase.[32][33][34][35]
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg had been scheduled to visit the camp on 23 July.[36]
[edit]Alleged perpetrator
Main article: Anders Behring Breivik
Anders Behring Breivik (born 13 February 1979), who was arrested on Utøya for the shootings there, has also been linked to the Oslo bombings. [37][38][39]
Public broadcaster NRK and several other Norwegian media identified the suspected attacker as a blond and blue-eyed Norwegian who expressed right-wing and anti-Muslim views on the Internet.
National police chief Sveinung Sponheim told public broadcaster NRK that the gunman's Internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but whether that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen.
He is reported to have written posts on the anti-Islamic[40] website document.no (all his apparent and unconfirmed writings listed; available on this site only in Norwegian).[41]
He operates a farming proprietorship.[42]. The company is called Breivik Geofarm.[43]. His farm grew vegetables, using large amounts of fertilizers.[citation needed]
Norwegian news agency NTB said Breivik legally owned several firearms and belonged to a gun club. The police uniform he was wearing resembled a police field uniform. Under this disguise he was able to travel with visible weaponry. Media have reported him using an automatic hand gun, a shotgun and a submachine gun in the island shooting. He used the shotgun to shoot some of his victims an additional time in the head.
Behring studied at the Oslo Commerce School, and is described by newspaper Verdens Gang as considering himself a Christian, conservative, nationalist[39] and a one-time Freemason.[44] His social-media accounts identify him as an admirer of Winston Churchill and anti-nazi World War II hero Max Manus,[41] as well as social liberal philosopher John Stuart Mill (who he quoted on his Twitter account before the incident).[45].
