OSLO (Reuters) - A massive bomb shattered Norway's main government building in Oslo on Friday, killing two people police were quoted as saying by local news agency NTB.
There was no claim of responsibility, though NATO member Norway has been the target of threats, if not bombs, before, notably over its involvement in conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was safe, NTB said.
NRK radio said at least two people were killed in an attack that may have brought global political violence to the quiet Scandinavian city.
"It exploded -- it must have been a bomb. People ran in panic and ran. I counted at least 10 injured people," said bystander Kjersti Vedun, who was leaving the area.
A Reuters reporter at the scene said the blast scattered debris across the streets and shook the entire city centre around 3:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. British time). He saw eight people injured, one covered in a sheet and apparently dead.

Norway is the last place I would have expected a terror attack. Though that is not confirmed it certainly looks like it. The damage to the buildings is consistent with an external explosion... I suspect a car bomb.
