Terror in Oslo!

Sadly the media are reporting him as a christian fundamentalist.

The report I am looking at says he "posted on websites with Christian fundamentalist tendencies" - whatever that means. (Source)

OK - are they claiming him to be responsible for the bombing as well?

[~candice~]

Yes Neb, that's already confirmed.

[Isaiah 6:8]

Iz, if there is a list of victim names, please post a link. I would like to see if family or old friends are on it.

Will do!

Yes Neb, that's already confirmed.

OK - I didn't see that.

Satan is alive and well - as this tragedy proves!

Sadly the media are reporting him as a christian fundamentalist.

They cannot prove he was a Christian. Merely claiming to be a Christian does not make someone a Christian.

In the present church age, Christians are under New Testament Christian law and are commanded to not war after the flesh and to not murder people (Matthew 5:38-45, Matthew 26:52, Luke 6:27-29, John 18:11, Romans 12:17-21, Romans 13:9-10, 2 Corinthians 10:3-4, Ephesians 6:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:15, 1 Peter 2:21-24, 1 Peter 3:8-9).

Isaiah,

Still praying for you, your family and Oslo. May the Lords presence continue to comfort the families of those that lose love ones.

May those of us that know the Lord, take our rightful place as prayer warriors, praying not just for the safety of America, but all nations and countries be safe and healed. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

[joi]

Adding my prayers for all concerned.

I sure wish our Lord was here right now, to put an end to all evil, and so that we can be in His presence and at peace.

[Isaiah 6:8]

OSLO, Norway -- A gunman who opened fire on an island teeming with young people kept shooting for 1.5 hours before surrendering to a SWAT team, which arrived 40 minutes after they were called, police said Saturday.

Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman, but a police briefing Saturday detailed for the first time how long the terror lasted -- and how long victims waited for help.

Student on Oslo attacks

When the SWAT team arrived, the gunman, who had two firearms, surrendered, said Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim.

"There were problems with transport to Utoya" island, where the youth-wing of Norway's Labor Party was holding a retreat, Sponheim said. "It was difficult to get a hold of boats, but that problem was solved when the SWAT team arrived."

At least 85 people were killed on the island, but police said four or five people were still missing. Divers have been searching the waters around the island.

The attack followed a bombing at a government building in Oslo, where seven people were killed. Police are still digging through rubble there, and Sponheim said body parts remain in the building.

Police have not identified the suspect, but Norwegian national broadcaster NRK say he is 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik. Authorities have not identified a motive but have said he visited Christian fundamentalist websites and once belonged to the youth-wing of a rightist party.

Police said he is talking to them and has admitted to firing weapons on the island. It was not clear if he had confessed to anything else he is accused of. Police said he retained a lawyer, but the attorney did not want to be named.

"He has had a dialogue with the police the whole time, but he's a very demanding suspect," Sponheim said.

Norway's royal family and prime minister led the nation in mourning, visiting grieving relatives of the scores of youth gunned down.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said the twin attacks made Friday peacetime Norway's deadliest day.

"This is beyond comprehension. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare for those who have been killed, for their mothers and fathers, family and friends," Stoltenberg told reporters earlier Saturday.
