But no, let's all just start raging against Muslims!

edit on 22/7/11 by Kram09 because: (no reason given)

Sources are saying it was car bombs, so it's not looking like a gas explosion thus far.

I agree with your sentiment as to not jump to conclusions on it being Muslims responsible.

Trying to track that info down as I type.

They don't have gas pipes in that area, only cylinders.

So far 8 injured and 1 dead, lets hope for best and fear for worst. Could be terrorists since:

The AP also reports that a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges this week against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he is deported from the country. The indictment centered on statements that Mullah Krekar — the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam — made to various media, including the American network NBC.

BBC now saying that is was a LARGE car bomb. This was said by a US advisor?? Why are they there??

2nd

The damage is massive So many of the windows and fronts of buildings blown through.

17 floors of windows gone through on one building live BBC @16.20

The BBC is showing the car that is being speculated was the bomb.

My thoughts are with the people there must be awful, Also hit was the largest Publisher tabloid in the country, was it the same publication that did the cartoons of the Prophet?

I really dont believe just 2 dead and about a dozen injured from the explosions, depends what time it is there but if the offices were occupied, well it will be much higher.

Apparently at this time of year everyone is on holiday and abroad and that the public sector leave work early on fridays. This seems a bizarre time for a terrorist attack?

Hopefully this means less people have been harmed than what it could have been whatever caused it.

That explosion wasn't from a passenger car loaded down with anything.

Low order explosion to equal that kind of damage... a ton or so at minimum. Maybe an acetylene booster to increase yield but that baby needed a panel van at least to get it positioned.

Thanks indeed,

well then a BIG flag for me, this is then very unlikely a Islamic group as they would have done it at busy times, smells of false flag to me if deserted when went of....
