1. Although it is not correct to speculate before more details are known, it is really impossible not to.
2. There must be, like in any other nation, political divide in Norway also. How deep I would not know.
3. Norway hosts all kinds of asylum seekers. Some like the Sri Lankans may be unhappy with Norway for failing to end the Tamil crisis peacefully. Yes, Mossad would like to pressurize Norway not to get too close to the Palestinians.
4. Perhaps another right wing European group; who knows/
5. Where did he/they get the weapons and explosives. He is a trained and organized guy apparently.
1. As it's short before midnight here, most of the news released will be rehashed old-news and speculations from the different press agencies.
2. There is a political divide in Norway indeed, but it doesn't manifest itself like in the more southern countries, we're more the type of debate&discussion-people, except for the occational fist-fight when hot temper is fueled with alcohol.
An old joke goes like this:
The reason why we never had any revolution in Norway is that we had two different communist parties, and they never managed to agree on how to spell the word "revolution"...
3. We do import some problems, and we can be a bit controversial in international politics, but as Norwegians are infamous for stubborn behaviour, and not so easily scared, such an act would just backfire and result in even stronger determintaion.
4. That is a possibility, the border control has been stepped up according to the "outer Schengen" protocol, and cars are being searched on all border crossings.
5. The suspect in custody is 32 years old, as such he would most likely have military training as all conscripts had back then.
One of the weapons was a handgun identified by witnesses as a Glock 9 mm. wich is standard army issue here, could have been stolen from army stock, or illegaly imported/smuggeled into the country.
Explosives, could be home-made, civilian explosives wich was easily obtained in a legal manner until last year, or smuggeled into the country.
The joy of being in the Schengen zone and practicing the free-flow idea of the EU I suppose...
