Just out from Reuters:

  • OSLO EXPLOSION BLOWS OUT MOST WINDOWS OF GOVERNMENT BUILDING HOUSING PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE-REUTERS WITNESS
  • Several people injured in explosion at Norwegian Government building in central Oslo

More from Reuters:

A huge explosion damaged government buildings in central Oslo on Friday including Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's office, injuring several people, a Reuters witness said.

The blast blew out most windows on the 17-storey building housing Stoltenberg's office, as well as nearby ministries including the oil ministry, which was on fire.

Reuters correspondent Walter Gibbs said he counted at least eight injured people. The cause of the blast was unknown but the tangled wreckage of a car was outside one building. Police and fire officials declined comment on the cause.

Update from Sky News:

Norwegian police have said that an explosion in Oslo this afternoon was a bomb which has caused "deaths and injuries".

Police said there were "one or several powerful explosions in the government building in Oslo."

They have told people in the Norwegian capital to stay away from the city centre and limit the use of mobile phones.

The building housed the offices of the Prime Minister, who was not thought to have been in his office at the time, and was reported to be safe.

The explosion was also thought to be near Norway's biggest tabloid newspaper.

Wreckage with bombed out buildings and paramedics

Norwegian police have reported there were 'deaths and injuries'

Journalist Asgeir Ueland said that Oslo is a popular destination for people from other parts of Norway.

He said the streets were crowded: "It happened when people were packing up for the weekend and leaving their offices.

"There were lots of people with blood on their faces and severe cuts."

Craig Barnes is in Oslo and said that he is shocked at what has happened.

"It is a very nice, safe place to live.

"Norwegians are very friendly and I think everyone gets on.

"I think this is going to change a lot of views now. There will be questions regarding safety."

Nearby offices in the Norwegian capital have been evacuated.

Large amounts of glass and metal have been seen in the street

From Norway's Aften Posten (google translated)

There has been a major explosion in downtown Oslo. Windows are broken in VG-built and government officials in Oslo.

All we know is that there is a kind of explosion. We are on the way out there, are the short and hasty message Aftenposten.no get the police in Oslo for the call just after half past four.

Several injured

Both windows in the government quarter and VG building is blown out, according to Aftenposten reports on site. She looks more damaged.

A huge røyksy rose several hundred feet in the air. Large parts of Oslo heard a huge explosion which led to Darren Hayes literally shook when the explosion happened at five at half four in the afternoon.

Entire facades blow out

Our reporter passed Market Street and there is full chaos people running around bewildered. Several places are a fire alarm-

As a reminder, as BBC reported a year ago, three people were arrested in a "bomb plot"

 

Norway 'al-Qaeda' bomb plot: Three arrested in Oslo

Three people have been arrested in Norway on suspicion of preparing terrorist attacks.

Unnamed Norwegian and US officials told the Associated Press
that the men were members of al-Qaeda and had been under surveillance
for a year.

They said it was not clear whether the men had selected a target, but they were attempting to make peroxide bombs.

The BBC's security correspondent says Norway may have been targeted because it has troops in Afghanistan.

"The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has today, July
8, 2010, arrested three people suspected of preparing acts of terror,"
the PST said in a statement on its website.

Prosecutors say the Norwegian case is linked to foiled bomb plots in New York and the English city of Manchester.

Twin plots

On Wednesday, US prosecutors charged five men in New York over
a plot to bomb the underground system. The plot was foiled in
September.

The New York plot also involved peroxide bombs, prosecutors said. One man, Najibullah Zazi, has already pleaded guilty.

"The charges reveal that the plot... was directed by senior
al-Qaeda leadership in Pakistan," the US Department of Justice said in a
statement.

One of those charged in New York is Abid Naseer, 24, born in
Pakistan and arrested in the north-east of England on Wednesday. The US
is now seeking his extradition.

Mr Naseer was remanded in custody by a court in the UK on Wednesday night.

The former construction site worker is suspected of being the
ringleader of a plot, thwarted in April 2009, to bomb targets in
Manchester city centre

A bid to put him on trial in Britain was aborted last year
and his deportation was blocked when a judge said Mr Naseer could face
torture in Pakistan

Another day, another thread where Trav pukes up his "white power, KKK" garbage, while his fellow Klansmen join in him a display of unity. 

Today, it's the Jews fault.  Tell me Grand Wizard, if your breed is so superior, why are the Jews constantly able to "victimize" you?  Why are the Jews able to manipulate you so easily? Why are the blacks able to steal your tax dollars so easily?

Here is the lunacy of Trav's logic:  the Jews and blacks and minorities are forcing normally benevolent and otherwise superior, white bankers and politicians to rob the country.  The white people in power who are not Jews are merely powerless figureheads who are victims, too. 

LOL  PATHETIC!!

You're a lawyer, right?  How does this defense work in a courtroom?  "Your honor, I know I robbed every bank in town, but the Jew made me do it." 

Trav is just another lunatic-savant like Kaczynski fighting phantom enemies.

Did you growup on the Muppet Babies?   really interesting programming for a lot of us Americans. <--- Americans.

The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia.

"As the story opens, Kermit is enjoying a relaxing afternoon in a Florida swamp, singing a tune (the Oscar-nominated "Rainbow Connection") and strumming his banjo, when he is approached by an agent named Bernie (Dom DeLuise) who recognizes his talents and encourages Kermit to pursue a career in Hollywood. Inspired by the idea of "making millions of people happy," Kermit sets off on a cross-country trip to Hollywood, initially via bicycle but eventually via Studebaker after teaming with Fozzie Bear, who had been working as a hapless stand-up comedian in a sleazy bar, whose owner and pianist are cameoed by James Coburn and Paul Williams respectively. During their journey, they are pursued by the villainous Doc Hopper (Charles Durning, speaking with a Southern accent and wearing an outfit similar to Colonel Sanders), owner of a struggling French-fried frog legs restaurant franchise, and his shy assistant, Max (Austin Pendleton). Doc Hopper wants Kermit to be the new spokesman for his restaurants, but when Kermit refuses, Hopper refuses to accept "No" for an answer and resorts to increasingly threatening means of persuasion. Kermit and Fozzie's journey also includes misadventures which introduce them to a variety of eccentric characters, some played by human guest stars, others played by Muppets. During one of their drives, they encounter Big Bird and offer him a ride."

"Big Bird declines stating that he's heading to New York City to make a debut in public television. Kermit and Fozzie Bear encounter Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem and their manager Scooter who plan to turn an abandoned church into a coffee house. They manage to disguise Kermit's car so that Doc Hopper can't recognize them. They end up encountering Gonzo and Camilla the Chicken whom had been working as plumbers until their truck crashes into Kermit and Fozzie's car. When it comes to getting a replacement car from a used car dealer owner Mad Man Mooney (Milton Berle), they meet Sweetums and invite him to join them. Sweetums runs off and Kermit drives away unbeknownst that Sweetums has left to pack his things. At a carnival, the group meets Miss Piggy following a beauty contestant (she falls in love with him in the process). She joins Kermit and Fozzie as they continue traveling to Hollywood. Sweetums is still trailing Kermit. At a local motel, Kermit meets up with Rowlf (who works as a pianist at a lounge). Doc Hopper and Max kidnap Miss Piggy and Doc sends a call to Kermit to exit the motel where Kermit runs into Doc's henchmen because Doc Hopper said that if Kermit didn't, Miss Piggy would be slaughtered. Doc Hopper has hired a mad scientist named Professor Max Krassman (Mel Brooks) in an attempt to brainwash Kermit. Fortunately, the scientist insults Miss Piggy just before he starts the process, causing her to break free in a rage and defeat Doc Hopper's henchmen. Immediately after freeing Kermit, Miss Piggy gets a call from her agent about a job and leaves Kermit to attend it. "The next day, Max appears to Kermit disguised as a motorcycle policeman to warn Kermit that Doc Hopper has hired an assassin to kill Kermit. Refusing to be hunted any longer, Kermit attempt a Western-style showdown the restaurant owner in a ghost town where the group meets Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker (who owns a laboratory in a ghost town). Kermit breaks tradition by trying to talk Hopper into backing off, but Hopper orders his henchmen to kill him and all his friends. Kermit is saved only when one of Dr. Bunsen's inventions, "insta-grow" pills, temporarily turn Animal into a giant who is able to permanently scare off Hopper and his men (Animal is later shrunken back down to his normal size in the next scene since the effect of the pills is only temporary)."

What does it mean sir? That humanity is doomed? We are all children of the devil with bad intentions?

That Trav777 is akin to the Unabomber and in need of a lawyer? should he be quiet ?

Why does Trav777 need a lawyer in your example?

What do lawyers know that he doesnt?    

Why would he be in court? Would he be entrapped ? Is it a trick?  Should he give up and give himself to evil?  Is it too late?

Do you believe in the 'lone wolf' theory?  

  I'd agree anti-semitism goes nowhere and is not healthy.

huh?  Shit, dude, don't let me and what I ACTUALLY have to say get in the way of your strawman destruction rampage.  I'll just make a bag of popcorn.

Jews have substantially higher IQs on average.  That makes them equipped to outcompete most whites.  They also behave as a la cosa nostra ethnic bloc in many regards.

As for blacks, the people in power decided blacks should be elevated.  All you have to do is review NAACP history and SPLC and you see who founded, runs, funds both of those groups.

The bankers aren't predominantly white, again...you are fucking stupid or you can't read.  There is an unholy alliance between anglo families like Rockefellers and jewish banker elites as well.  But one group uses ethnic nepotism far more broadly.  The Rocks and Morgans weren't interested in "white people," only their immediate family.  The jews go further than that to advance clan interests.  Simple as that.

From this, I have no clue where you get "victimize me" other than the voices in your head.  They, and you, should STFU.

In a few years, you'll all come around and marvel that anyone ever doubted me.

I mean, it's RIGHT THERE directly in front of your noses, yet so many even here can't stomach the acceptance of the truth staring them in the face.

The race hustling machine has really been that effective, I guess.

As far as who swallows this crap, why wouldn't they?  It tells them to hate whites.  The only fortunate part of all this is that the diversity avalanche in government has made it utterly incompetent at all levels.  Otherwise, everybody on ZH would probably be locked up already for all the terroristic things you people say about the Fed or DHS.

case in point. man riding his bicycle late one night is stopped for not having a light on it. a struggle ensued and the man ends up dead with a bullet wound in the back of his head. cops say, self defense and get away with it. this shit happens all the time. cops get away with murder because they are cops. so one might conclude that in a martial law scenerio, they will be out to do what they can for the man......at least at first....it will be interesting to see if anyone, that is anyone stands up in this country and says enough.....if this ever happens.......i for one, am fed up with this police state......totally fed up......

"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Multiple buildings were damaged, and the blast wave was on the outside (from the pictures I've seen).  One building has what appears to be a car port, and that shows outward trajectory of debris (where at least one vehicle was parked of course).

The 17-storey building, which also houses Norway's biggest tabloid newspaper VG, was reported to be on fire, with thick black smoke being seen for miles.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8655120/Oslo-exp...

 

/tinfoil time:

The Scandinavian media giant's holdings include newspapers, magazines, books, Internet, TV, and film operations. It owns Norway's largest newspapers, Verdens Gang (VG) and Aftenposten, publishes Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, and has papers in France and Spain published under the title 20 Minutes.

Commentary: Aftenposten has full wikileaks source, and has been at the centre of much of the Assange strangeness.

Background:

Nagell-Erichsen was noted for his gregarious manner and idealism. Among other things, he arranged to place the ownership of Aftenposten in an irrevocable trust that would make it impossible for foreign interests to buy the newspaper.

For the astute viewer:

Verdens Gang (lit.: The way of the world or The course of the world).

Feel free to book end that with the demise of the "News of the World".
