At least 84 people died when a gunman opened fire at an island youth camp in
Norway, hours after a deadly bombing in the capital, Oslo, police say.
Police have charged a 32-year-old Norwegian man over both attacks.
The man dressed as a police officer was arrested on tiny Utoeya island after
an hour-long shooting spree. The search for other possible victims
continues.
The Oslo bombing killed at least seven. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said
the attacks were "like a nightmare".
Mr Stoltenberg, whose offices were among those badly hit by the blast,
described the attacks as a national tragedy.
"Never since the Second World War has our country been hit by a crime on
this scale," he told a news conference in Oslo.
He added that he was due to have been on Utoeya - "a youth paradise turned
into a hell" - a few hours after the attack took place. Many others were
injured there as well as those who died.
Mr Stoltenberg said civil servants were among the dead in Oslo and he knew
some of those killed. "Beyond that I cannot give further details while the
police carry out their investigation."
He said it was too early too comment on a possible motive for the attacks.
No group has said it carried them out.
The suspect is reported by local media to have had links with right-wing
extremists. He has been named as Anders Behring Breivik. Police searched his
Oslo apartment overnight.
The BBC's Richard Galpin, near the island, says that Norway has had problems
with neo-Nazi groups in the past but the assumption was that such groups
had been largely eliminated and did not pose a significant threat.
Police say they are investigating whether the attacks were the work of one
man or whether he had help.
"At Utoeya, the water is still being searched for more victims," deputy
police chief Roger Andresen told reporters.
"We have no more information than... what has been found on [his] own
websites, which is that it goes towards the right and that it is, so to
speak, Christian fundamentalist."
'Posed as policeman'
Earlier, the number of dead from the island shooting spree, which is among
the world's most deadly, was put at 10. Hundreds of young people were
attending the summer camp organised by the ruling Labour Party on Utoeya
island.
Eyewitnesses described how a tall, blond man dressed as a policeman opened
fire indiscriminately, prompting camp attendees to jump into the water to
try and escape the hail of bullets. Some of the teenagers were shot at as
they tried to swim to safety.
Armed police were deployed to the island but details of the operation to
capture the suspect remain unclear.
Police say they discovered many more victims after searching the area around
the island. They have warned the death toll may rise further as rescue
teams continue to scour the waters around the island.
The gunman is reported to have been armed with a handgun, an automatic
weapon and a shotgun.
"He travelled on the ferry boat from the mainland over to that little inland
island posing as a police officer, saying he was there to do research in
connection with the bomb blasts," NRK journalist Ole Torp told the BBC.
"He asked people to gather round and then he started shooting, so these
young people fled into the bushes and woods and some even swam off the
island to get to safety."
One 15-year-old eyewitness described how she saw what she thought was a
police officer open fire.
"He first shot people on the island. Afterward he started shooting people in
the water," youth camp delegate Elise told Associated Press.
Witness Daniel Cherubini says it was "absolute chaos" in Oslo following
Friday's bombing
Mr Stoltenberg had been due to visit the camp on Saturday. Foreign Minister
Jonas Gahr Store, who visited the camp on Thursday, praised those who were
attending.
"The country has no finer youth than young people who go for a summer camp
doing politics, doing discussions, doing training, doing football, and then
they experience this absolutely horrendous act of violence," he said.
'Despicable violence'
In Oslo, government officials urged people to stay at home and avoid central
areas of the city.
Shards of twisted metal, rubble and glass littered the streets of central
Oslo left devastated by Friday's enormous explosion.
Windows in the buildings of the government quarter were shattered and
witnesses described how smoke filled the atmosphere around the blast site.
There are also concerns that more victims may still be inside buildings hit
by the initial massive explosion.
Emergency services have had difficulty accessing these buildings amid
concerns about further possible explosions as well as fears the blast may
have left buildings unstable. |
