<b><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT"><div class="storydiv" id="storydiv" style="display: block;"><div class="Normal">  <i>OSLO: A home-grown terrorist set off an explosion that ripped open  buildings in the heart of Norway's government Friday, then went to a  summer camp dressed as a police officer and gunned down youths as they  ran and even swam for their lives, police said on Friday. </i><br />
<br />
The attacks killed at least 17 people in this peaceful nation's worst violence since World War II. <br />
<br />
A police official said the 32-year-old ethnic Norwegian suspect  arrested at the camp on Utoya island appears to have acted alone in both  attacks, and that "it seems like that this is not linked to any  international terrorist organizations at all." The official spoke on  condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially  released by Norway's police. <br />
<br />
"It seems it's not Islamic-terror related," the official said. "This seems like a madman's work." <br />
<br />
The official said the attack "is probably more  Norway's Oklahoma City  than it is Norway's World Trade Center." Domestic terrorists carried  out the 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City, while  foreign terrorists were responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. <br />
<br />
The official added, however, "it's still just hours since the incident  happened. And the investigation is going on with all available  resources." <br />
<br />
At the youth camp, where the prime minister had  been scheduled to speak Saturday, a 15-year-old camper named Elise said  she heard gunshots, but then saw a police officer and thought she was  safe. Then he started shooting people right before her eyes. <br />
<br />
"I  saw many dead people," said Elise, whose father, Vidar Myhre, didn't  want her to disclose her last name. "He first shot people on the island.  Afterward he started shooting people in the water." <br />
<br />
Elise said  she hid behind the same rock that the killer was standing on. "I could  hear his breathing from the top of the rock," she said. <br />
<br />
She said it was impossible to say how many minutes passed while she was waiting for him to stop. <br />
<br />
The shootings occurred after the bombing in Oslo, Norway's capital and the city where the  Nobel Peace Prize  is awarded. The police official who spoke on condition of anonymity  said there was at least one unexploded device at the youth camp, and  that a police bomb disposal team was working on disarming it with  support from military experts. <br />
<br />
The  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Oslo">Oslo</a>  blast left a square covered in twisted metal, shattered glass and  documents expelled from surrounding buildings in a dust-fogged scene  that reminded one visitor from  New York of Sept. 11. <br />
<br />
Ian Dutton, who was in a nearby hotel, said people "just covered in rubble" were walking through "a fog of debris." <br />
<br />
"It wasn't any sort of a panic," he said, "It was really just people in  disbelief and shock, especially in a such as safe and open country as  Norway. You don't even think something like that is possible." <br />
<br />
Police said seven people died in the Oslo blast, and another 9 or 10  people were killed at the camp, which was organized by the youth wing of  the ruling  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Labor-Party">Labor Party</a>. Rescuers were to search to blast wreckage through the night for more victims, and Prime Minister  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Jens-Stoltenberg">Jens Stoltenberg</a> said police fear there could be more victims at the camp as well. <br />
<br />
Elise, the young camper, said she believes she saw more than 10 people killed. <br />
<br />
Acting national Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim said a man was arrested  in the shooting, and the suspect had been observed in Oslo before the  explosion there. Police did not immediately say how much time elapsed  between the bombing and the attack at Utoya, about 20 miles (35  kilometers) northwest, but reports of the shooting began appearing on  Twitter about two and a half hours after the bombing. <br />
<br />
Sponheim  said the camp shooter "wore a sweater with a police sign on it. I can  confirm that he wasn't a police employee and never has been." <br />
<br />
Aerial images broadcast by Norway's TV2 showed members of a  SWAT  team dressed in black arriving at the island in boats and running up  the dock. Behind them, people who stripped down to their underwear swam  away from the island toward shore, some using flotation devices. <br />
<br />
Sponheim said police were still trying to get an overview of the camp  shooting and could not say whether there was more than one shooter. He  said several people were injured but he could not comment on their  conditions. <br />
<br />
In Oslo, most of the windows in the 20-floor  high-rise where Stoltenberg and his administration work were shattered.  Other buildings damaged house government offices and the headquarters of  some of Norway's leading newspapers. <br />
<br />
Oslo University Hospital  said 12 people were admitted for treatment following the Utoya shooting,  and 11 people were taken there from the explosion in Oslo. The hospital  asked people to donate blood. <br />
<br />
Stoltenberg, who was home when  the blast occurred and was not harmed, visited injured people at the  hospital late Friday. Earlier he decried what he called "a cowardly  attack on young innocent civilians." <br />
<br />
"I have message to those  who attacked us," he said. "It's a message from all of Norway: You will  not destroy our democracy and our commitment to a better world." <br />
<br />
Sponheim would not give any details about the identity or nationality of the suspect, who was being interrogated by police. <br />
<br />
Stoltenberg said "we don't want to speculate" on whether a terror group  is responsible, and said some groups may take responsibility "to appear  to be more important than they are." <br />
<br />
The attacks formed the deadliest day of terror in  Western Europe since the 2005  London bombings, which killed 52 people. <br />
<br />
Police said the Oslo explosion occurred at 3:30 p.m. (1330 GMT) and was caused by "one or more" bombs. <br />
<br />
Public broadcaster NRK showed video of a blackened car lying on its  side amid the debris. An AP reporter who was in the office of Norwegian  news agency NTB said the building shook from the blast and all employees  were evacuated. Down in the street, he saw one person with a bleeding  leg being led away from the area. <br />
<br />
An AP reporter headed to  Utoya was turned away by police before reaching the lake that surrounds  the island, as eight ambulances with sirens blaring entered the area.  Police blocked off roads leading to the lake. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Emilie-Bersaas">Emilie Bersaas</a>,  identified by Sky News television as one of the youths on the island,  said she ran inside a school building and hid under a bed when the  shooting started. <br />
<br />
"At one point the shooting was very, very  close (to) the building, I think actually it actually hit the building  one time, and the people in the next room screamed very loud," she said.  <br />
<br />
"I laid under the bed for two hours and then the police  smashed a window and came in," Bersaas said. "It seems kind of unreal,  especially in Norway. This is not something that could happen here." <br />
<br />
One of the youths at the camp, Niclas Tokerud, stayed in touch with his sister through the attack through text messages. <br />
<br />
"He sent me a text saying 'there's been gunshots. I am scared  (expletive). But I am hiding and safe. I love you,"' said Nadia Tokerud,  a 25-year-old graphic designer in Hokksund, Norway. <br />
<br />
As he boarded a boat from the island after the danger had passed he sent one more text: "I'm safe." <br />
<br />
The  United States,  European Union,  Nato and the UK, all quickly condemned the bombing, which Britain's Foreign Secretary  William Hague called "horrific" and Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen deemed a "heinous act." <br />
<br />
"It's a reminder that the entire international community has a stake in  preventing this kind of terror from occurring," President Barack Obama  said. <br />
<br />
Obama extended his condolences to Norway's people and  offered U.S. assistance with the investigation. He said he remembered  how warmly Norwegians treated him in Oslo when he accepted the Nobel  Peace Prize in 2009. <br />
<br />
Nobel Peace Prize Chairman Thorbjorn  Jagland said it appeared the camp attack "was intended to hurt young  citizens who actively engage in our democratic and political society.  But we must not be intimidated. We need to work for freedom and  democracy every day." <br />
<br />
Norway has been grappling with a homegrown terror plot linked to al-Qaida. Two suspects are in jail awaiting charges. <br />
<br />
Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an  Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he  is deported from the Scandinavian country. The indictment centered on  statements that Mullah Krekar, the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group  Ansar al-Islam, made to various news media, including American network   NBC. <br />
<br />
Terrorism has also been a concern in neighboring Denmark since an  uproar over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad six years ago. Danish  authorities say they have foiled several terror plots linked to the 2005  newspaper cartoons that triggered protests in Muslim countries. Last  month, a Danish appeals court on Wednesday sentenced a Somali man to 10  years in prison for breaking into the home of the cartoonist. <br />
<br />
Many intelligence analysts said they had never heard of Helpers of  Global Jihad, which took initial credit. Ansar al-Islam also took credit  on some jihadist web sites. </div></div></span></b></div>

On Wednesday evening, three  serial bomb blasts in the span of ten minutes ripped through three of  the busiest hubs in the city—Zaveri Bazar,  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Opera-House">Opera House</a> and Dadar—at rush hour, killing 21 people and injuring 141. <br />
<br />
The first explosion was at 6.54pm at  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Zaveri-Bazaar">Zaveri Bazaar</a>,  followed by another at Opera House a minute later. The third explosion  was at 7.06pm outside Kabutarkhana, a few metres from the western side  of Dadar railway station. This is the third terror attack at Zaveri  Bazaar. <br />
<br />
The high explosives with timer devices were kept on  vehicles at Opera House and Zaveri Bazar while at Dadar a bus stop was  the target. The police said that the three locations, two of which were  khau gallis, had been chosen for maximum impact. Police commissioner  Arup Patnaik said it was a terrorist attack. <br />
<br />
While the  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mumbai">Mumbai</a>  police have not named any outfit responsible for the blasts, sources  say that it could be the handiwork of a banned outfit, the Indian  Mujahideen (IM), which recently formed a group called the 313 Squad and  has been recruiting youngsters to it. <br />
<br />
Security agencies suspect  the use of ammonium nitrate in the blasts. Splinters of nuts and bolts,  which were used in the bombs, were found and removed from the injured  at the Harkisondas and Saifi hospitals. The police have reportedly  zeroed in on a CCTV camera near Opera House but later found that it too  was damaged in the blast. <br />
<br />
The police said that seven Improvised  Explosive Devices (IEDs) were used for the blasts. "There could be at  least three groups of bomb planters who kept the bomb and left quietly,"  said a security official, adding that the  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/IEDs">IEDs</a>  were wrapped in cloth bags and tiffin carriers—the signature of the IM.  However, no terror email, another IM signature, was sent to any news  channel to claim responsibility for the blasts. Soon after the blasts,  the police began rounding up suspects but no arrests were made. <br />
<br />
The bomb detection and disposal squad cordoned off the area and  collected traces of explosives from the blast sites. However, due to the  rain and people using water to douse the fires, the police fear that  traces of explosives might have been washed away. Police sources said  the anti-terrorism squad team also took the recordings of a CCTV camera  installed in the vicinity of the Zaveri Bazar blast site. "The  investigators can get a clear picture of how the explosion took place  after watching the CCTV footage," said an officer who was at the spot.  Sources said that the explosive was concealed in an umbrella which was  kept on a motorcycle. <br />
<br />
At Zaveri Bazar, local residents said the  narrow lane was unusually crowded, as it was the peak hour at Khau  Galli. Scores of people pack the lane, lined with food stalls, between 6  and 7 pm. Most of those injured and dead were eating at Mohan  Pudlawala, a popular eatery. Businessman Hitesh Soni, who was among the  first to reach the site, said, "I heard a loud thud and thought it was a  cylinder blast. But when I saw people crying for help and bleeding  profusely, I realized it was more than that." <br />
<br />
The Opera House  blast also happened in a Khau Galli, a favourite haunt of diamond  traders and brokers. The diamond trading centre, Panchratna, is around  500 metres from the site of the blast. The police are examining if RDX  was used in this blast. <br />
<br />
Confusion reigned in hospitals as the  injured and the dead were transported to seven city hospitals. When  chief minister Prithviraj Chavan was accosted by relatives of the  victims at GT Hospital near CST, complaining about the ill-equipped and  poorly manned hospital, he refused to comment. <br />
<br />
A group of  diamond brokers was the first to react as soon as the bomb went off  outside Panchratna. "We bundled bodies of bloodied men into taxis to  take them to hospital without waiting to see if they were dead or  alive," said a volunteer, Bhavesh, who was shaken by the brutality of  the scene. <br />
