all right now mark colvin is a history lecturer from oxford university told me but always involvement of nato as military campaign could be a reason behind the attack. the most likely explanation is that norway's involvement as a nato member in the various armed actions i'm made to from libya to afghanistan will have the basis for some lashing out whether that by russia comes from a libyan group or more generally from an islamic group which is close to the region returned over and. over to get his team and i say we should remember that back in oklahoma city imagine ninety five when it was a huge government which had to rest there with every level of pollution which it must be the workers i'm a terrorist and it turned out to work a very large and permanent and what a shame and. so with the proviso that we that we should don't rule out now because abilities are most likely explanation is obviously there are always political number one and you were an attack on it and i think really for two is one of those involvements and the other is perhaps if there is a stretch it could on the whole
