a participant in this new rally there is a lot of. just chaos going on in your way there are. think there are just so you can see small writing on public transportation in the center of the city all while all dark it will all work or those injured are still in the building and that's what we've done your love got a bit of all news on that i can just in the last few minutes to follow them across the news wires see the a.p. news agency reporting that police say they're sending anti terror police to a youth camp outside old slow after reports as you were saying there of a shooting following the bomb blast earlier on the government headquarters a new site reporting that a man dressed in a police uniforms opened fire at the camp it says several people have been injured . as well police chief saying anti terror units are being sent to the camp of the

outside the norwegian capital didn't have any other information at the moment of course as you saying this coming just hours after the devastation in the center there we're just looking at pictures of the injured so far the death toll officially confirmed as to judging by the scale of the devastation you see that especially in that government building that seventeen story high building where every window were being blown out sadly it could be the case that the death toll will rise we have heard reports unconfirmed reports that. there could be dead in there certainly there are people still trapped there is the police and rescue services are trying to get to them let me just talk about the airport where you are because you can give us the first hand experience of your saying that there's no news coming through you saying that the train station is close i guess is there a backlog of passengers arriving at that airport now trying to get into the city center where are they going. all ever.

flowing here like you said absent or it's really aren't aware of what's going on in the center of. ground transportation authorities are sitting in that information basically what i was told is that. when we arrived. that's the reason it's not an issue around us or. thanks for bringing us what you know so far we also got a news report through saying that police officers said that there was another package being found the norwegian broadcaster t.v. two reporting. that the police are investigating another suspicious package found in the center police have sealed off that part of the area we don't know any more details about that but just to bring you a little bit more about that news line that's coming through in the last few minutes not in the city center reports according to the a.p. to get an a.p.

news agency just coming through the police say they're sending anti terror police to this youth camp now outside although after reports of a shooting being heard there initial reports the shots coming from a man dressed in a police uniform not clear if he was a policeman or just someone dressed in a police uniform obviously horrifying for the the children and the kids involved in . the report of the swimming out to sea to try and get away from whatever's happening there again details still sketchy will bring you more as we know it here on r.t. you know i spoke to robin simcox he's from the geo political research group the henry jackson society told me the bomb attack in oslo only goes to show that terrorism can strike any place any time. all european countries are on a level of awareness for al qaeda inspired attacks but norway isn't somewhere that you've regarded has been especially high target the fact that the arrests it's

a place in two thousand and nine were very significant for the fact that norway was almost not on the radar before before two thousand and nine and so i don't think and the fact that the minister said this is the most damaging thing that's happened to norway says it all this wasn't a country that people regarded as being especially likely to be hits which also just reconfirms that this type of terrorism is indiscriminate in who it targets and and it goes to show that really anywhere is a game target for the likes of al qaida if that is proved who took at this time we know there are extremist elements within european countries and those who sympathize with the criteria or ideology even if not the full members of the al qaeda group the city i live in london has been a huge problem for this in the past so i think you have to do is that all european countries have to have to you have to treat this problem with extreme seriousness it does because once you've been terrific the police the security services and law

enforcement agencies generally tracking this kind of terrorism and he takes one group one individual to be lucky once and you have to kind of scenes that we're seeing in oslo at the moment so overall we can do is really talk about the most vigilant approach we possibly can to this kind of terrorist threat because it is so serious. through our shooting that i was telling you about this guy who you associate press news agency we're now hearing that a spokesman for norway's labor party says a gunman opened fire at the party's youth. although a mention there has been reported to be at a place called a toy. we're hearing that several people were shot at this was after the bomb blast earlier on the government headquarters in the capital not immediately clear of course if these attacks are related no the labor spokesman quoted here. told the a.p. news agency that a man dressed in

a police uniform started shooting at hughes that resembled for the party's annual use of the toy it's an island just outside. he said unconfirmed reports suggest that five people had been hit he went on to say they don't know how seriously injured those five were he said that some seven hundred youngsters mostly teenagers aged between fourteen and eighteen were assembled at the camp there if you just joined us the main news today is that a bomb blast has shattered a building in the center of oslo these are the latest pictures we've got through the it's caused a lot of devastation to one building particularly there. at the moment we're hearing there could be some dead inside one of the worst affected buildings the seventeen to twenty story high building that was the prime minister's office building the prime minister incidentally is ok but we're also hearing that people the police fear are still trapped in that building tonight the route two confirmed

dead details still coming through let's talk on the line now in london to mark almond he is history lecturer from oriel college oxford university mark thanks pete on the program i first of all if it was a bomb they also reports of a shooting at a youth rally what do you think is making norway such a target tonight. well we've got a couple about leaping to conclusions but the most likely explanation is that norway's involvement as a nato member in various factions line nato from libya to afghanistan will have the basis for some backlash and whether that backlash comes from a libyan group all more generally from an islamic group that is hostile to region major involvement. is to be seen and i have to say we should remember that back in oklahoma city in ninety ninety five when it was a huge bomb of the federal building everybody left inclusions it must be the work

of islamic terrorists and it turned out to work very christian fundamentalists militiamen hostile to the u.s. government so with the proviso that we that we should don't rule out all the possibilities the most likely explanation is obviously that norway's political involvement have grown an attack on us and i think really for two is one of those involvements and the other is perhaps if there is a strategy to it on the whole have an islamic group they might signal layers are so hot option. if you think about places like london paris. recall that's a terrorist attacks over the years even a quite dramatic attack on the prime minister so his tack wrong. members of his group who called him you call him necessarily have had such an effect in one little carousels perhaps in a country of norway which is being very peaceful very quiet for a long time. and he no involvement in the regions in bahrain has always been councils miles away from their own country all of the security alert have been like

in norway as we were saying earlier on is traditionally a pretty peaceful place so that we're bearing in mind that a bomb attack in scandinavia late last year of course but said look the terror alert be as high as i think the rest of western europe thinking to take a britain. will of course a few weeks ago when we can police did the rest some people lay claim to order an islamic call. to engage in a terrorist attack in norway and they may have been part of what has now happened today so might have thought their work would have been higher if it was the case of a car bomb was planted how far would somebody able to bring a critical with a bomb next to the prime minister's office or very close to it what kind of security to them and we. all saw them even if they haven't had the experience of terrorism madrid london paris recent years would have thought of them or involvement in military actions because the government programs like this one there would have been some calls around that might have been the case in

a limited effect but it does seem to be an extraordinary. norwegian security police and claimed to have intercepted and arrested a number of people were involved in the park already a few weeks ago so it may not be right through the market still early days the details coming through in the last ten minutes or so. a shooting at a nearby youth club labeling youth club a very soft target no matter how you get that we're hearing by initial reports only it has to be said that the shots were coming from someone dressed in a police uniform as i say a soft target despicable. yes i mean i think that say it was a terrorist attack and it presumably is we can't be certain. how it would make it but it is organized by a group who can turns when fighting terror it's how to several different actions on the same day to cause more medical considerable are in a place like elsewhere which is for most people sort of

a very peaceful place what we don't see is what is the political impact will norway will now the scandinavian countries that are involved with maters or bringing libya with sections. will they be alarmed when they see a show of solidarity obviously one presumes if it is a terrorist attack based upon there's little chance of norway the idea is to say to me the more we can probably say we don't want to be involved for longer baikal. we will go we've got a norwegian minister saying that this is the most serious incident that oslo has faced tonight. absolutely certainly the most violent incident in norway as i recall since the second world war and also there was much violence in the warmer. why do you think norway has been targeted here we talked if we don't know if these . attacks are linked in any way for al qaeda comes to mind doesn't it was i think

it could well be that there is a. people who sympathize with. routinely and you can call al qaeda who don't like the actions of norway and its allies around the world not least in afghanistan who may be in a sense carrying out a revenge for the death of osama bin laden or influenced also by spending money because perception as being a place of two bodies in the middle so little value is for some people particular dislike that's likely going to say then we look at it working for russia now if we say that terrorist won't transfer. terror on the people the. russian or maybe that all the countries in the nato alliance right really for instance all seems well they have relatives in operations this whole country is. in norway is a bigger impact than perhaps trying to occur to people you could see people killed one of them all right marc ullman thank you for your input there in

a program tonight joining us and from oxford thanks taking the time thank you. the terror attacks on norway is a huge bombs exploded in the very center of its capital oslo is our main story tonight it's damaged parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office two deaths have been reported so far at least fifteen are reported to have been injured police say more people are still trapped in the shattered buildings there in the center promised again sultan berg is said to be safe state secretary christian edmondson earlier on added that the situation is the worst his country has ever seen quote blown reports suggest a car bomb and the blast was so powerful that it blew out windows over a one kilometer radius witnesses say the nearby all ministry building was also caught fire with thick smoke seen rising from it there are reports that two other devices were found that had failed to go off police are evacuating people from the

city center and all of those central railway station meantime in a separate attack a gunman is reportedly dressed as a policeman has opened fire at a youth rally outside although it's injured four according to reports and tara police have been sent to the count where some seven hundred teenagers have gathered that's what we know at the moment course details coming through thick and fast no joining us live to discuss the blast in the region covered let's talk to a danish journalist hell agree here that thanks for being with us. from initial reports it does look like a full scale terror attack on the country why norway could there be a connection where with the danish cartoons maybe in two thousand and six depicting the prophet mohammed they were printed in a norwegian paper too recently. yes good evening yes certainly one has terrorism in mind and one has also in mind. the

norwegian engagement in afghanistan and maybe i should also mention that i work for a norwegian think sang called human rights. and i'm based in copenhagen but the think tank has a little small office in the heart of our slow and the building has also been badly damaged but no one has been hurt luckily. norway's one of the founding members of nato involved afghanistan and iraq and more recently libya could these attacks just be about revenge. are they said it could be linked to foreign policy it could as you mentioned be sensitive do with the mohammed cartoons we have seen sort of protest in the capital of norway in or slow you know linked to the tunes and certainly this could very well be the case. now law in europe has been set with issues over immigration as well maybe another angle here some saying it was giving safe haven to terrorists might lax immigration

policies be a factor maybe beyond these attacks do you think. i think we can say that it might have something to do with it one could ask oneself why norway and why not denmark and i think that the danish intelligence service has luckily prevented terror attacks in copenhagen and maybe just maybe the norwegian intelligence service has not been as alert as it should have been because one has simply not expected this and we know that all over europe in the u.k. in france in denmark in no way if you sort of look back through the years. certainly one has given safe haven to people who should never never have got an asylum. and it's early days and beefeater before we speculate a more about what may have caused this you must say as well our thoughts very much as well tonight with the families and friends of those that have perished and indeed the family and

friends and everyone that is injured as well as first and foremost of our minds but you know but could this attack become a nail do you think in the coffin of europe's multiculturalism after all angle of merkel put out and probably saved dead some time ago in shame. she certainly did and i think she was. she was right on target because. we do not know yet who is responsible for this. but there it could be that it would be some kind of terrorism and. one is not surprised that this has happened and we have seen it several times we saw it nine eleven. we have seen the failed attacks. and copenhagen and now in norway and of course the european governments and also the you know we didn't government have to sort of rethink the frame of mind to call it ok. thank you for being on the
