An explosion outside a government building in Oslo, Norway, that houses the offices of the prime minister, has left at least two dead and many injured. Broken windows have been reported a kilometer away from the blast, which according to US officials on the scene, was caused by a massive car bomb. Why terrorists would want to target the Norwegian prime minister, I’ve no idea, but reports indicate he wasn’t in the building at the time.

Seriously? Norway? Why Norway? And is there any word on who did this?
Also how did one car bomb do THAT much damage???? I can’t wrap my head around it.
I guess even Norway has its kooks.
norway was in the “coalition of the willing” in iraq, weren’t they? 150 troops.
it could also be because it was possible to attack there.
Oil exporter who is not member of OPEC.

@1 shaped charges and a knowledge of architectural impacts allows trained individuals to magnify the impact of small amounts of explosives quite dramatically.
