So far it hasn't been reported that this is related to the blasts.
No surprise. They need to concentrate on security right now. This is not good.

Why do Islamic Radicals attack the countries that are the most antiIsrael and protect Radical Islam with a passion!
 
6.40pm: Police are saying they believe the person(s) responsible for the bomb to be foreign, according to the BBC.

But the attacker in Utoya, now arrested, looked Norwegian, NRK reports (thanks to @Pb1231 for the link)

Witnesses who have managed to escape from the island, says to NRK reporters on the spot that the perpetrator had a Norwegian look. He should be between 185 to 190 cm tall and have blond hair.

So you think he's behind it, do you? Then we should certainly vaporize him.

No way it was him, he has too many fish to fry at home! I guarantee it was a home grown Islamist group made that liberal Norway didn't do something they demanded!

We don't know enough yet, but that is possible, especially considering that they broke up an Al Qaeda terror cell in Norway planning bombings about this time last year.
 
The Norwegians have it coming with all of their cross country skiing and fish pickling. Islam will not stand for such outrages. Must kill them all!

Unless of course it was the middle-aged white guys.
