1. The Norwegians have already arrested a Norwegian perp:
a blonde white guy. And they are investigating possible connections to rightwing extremism. Wonder if that will make the front page?

3. Gawd forgive me for even seeming to defend a slime ball publication but
the Islamist mullah who just got deported from Norway vowed revenge and an Islamist group took credit earlier so its not beyond the pale that people came to that conclusion. Furthermore the asshole may have been a convert.

2. This headline is already out of date
It is 11pm in the UK right now. People will not be reading this so-called "newspaper" for another 10 hours or so.

Already the BBC is reporting that "Police arrested the suspected gunman at the camp and the government have confirmed that he is Norwegian.

Norwegian media reports said the shootings on the island, on the Tyrifjorden lake, were carried out by a man in police uniform.

Police later said that he was also linked with the bomb attack. Reports described him as tall and blond.

The prime minister and justice minister have declined to speculate on a motive behind the attack but police are saying that they believe the car bomb and the shooting are linked and that they have a suspect in custody from Utoeya.

The ministers are confirming he is Norwegian. During the day, after an initial focus on an al-Qaeda link, the possibility of domestic extremism increasingly came into focus.

The choice of targets - government buildings and a political youth rally - suggested a possible political agenda rather than the mass casualty approach typically employed by al-Qaeda."

On BBC TV in the UK, Newsnight (30 minutes ago) is going with the home-grown theory.

The Mayor of Oslo says it was probably a "crazy man". Journalists are speculating as to whether the perp may have had any real-world or online links with anarchist or neo-Nazi groups.
