Norway Blast

A Norwegian commission has criticized authorities for failing to take actions that could have prevented or interrupted the bomb and gun attacks by a far-right fanatic that killed 77 people last year.

Jens Stoltenberg, whose government and party was targeted by last week's deadly attacks, has been unanimously hailed for his dignified and quintessentially Norwegian handling of the crisis aftermath.

Some British mosques are boosting security after Norway's horrific massacre was traced to a man who fears Muslims are taking over Europe - an attack that exposed a failure to root out Islamophobia that has bled into the European mainstream.

Hussein Kazemi has faced danger many times before. Maybe that's why the teenager still can smile as he sits in his hospital bed, bullet wounds in both legs and an arm, and images of a crazed gunman in his head.

A homegrown terrorist set off a deadly explosion in downtown Oslo before heading to a summer camp dressed as a police officer to commit one of the deadliest shooting sprees in history, killing at least 80 people as terrified youths ran and even swam for their lives, police said on Friday.

Norway attacks: The Norwegian police on Saturday charged a 32-year-old man, whom they identified as a Christian fundamentalist with right-wing connections, over the bombing of a government center here and a shooting attack on a nearby island that together left at least 91 people dead.

A loud explosion has shattered windows at the government headquarters in Oslo which includes the prime minister's office, injuring several people. Norwegian news agency NTB says the prime minister is safe.
