A suspected right-wing Christian gunman in police uniform killed
at least 84 people in a ferocious attack on a youth summer camp of
Norway's ruling Labor party, hours after a bomb killed seven in Oslo.
Witnesses said the gunman, identified by police as a 32-year-old
Norwegian, moved across the small, wooded Utoeya holiday island on
Friday firing at random as young people scattered in fear.
Police detained the tall, blond suspect, named by local media as
Anders Behring Breivik, and charged him for the island killing spree
and the Oslo bomb blast.
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, capturing the shock the attacks
have caused in this normally quiet nation of 4.8 million, said:
"A paradise island has been transformed into a hell."
Teenagers at the lakeside camp fled screaming in panic, many leaping
into the water to save themselves, when the assailant began spraying
them with gunfire, witnesses said.
Many sought shelter in buildings as shots echoed across the island that
was hosting the annual camp for the youth wing of the Labor Party,
the dominant force in politics since World War Two. Others fled into
the woods or tried to swim to safety.
The bomb, which shook Oslo's center in mid-afternoon, blew out the
windows of the prime minister's building and damaged the finance and
oil ministry buildings.
Police found undetonated explosives on Utoeya, a pine-clad island
about 500 meters long, the Reuters reports.
