OSLO, Norway — A police operation is under way in Oslo on Sunday and an official said it was related to a bombing on government headquarters. The explosion was followed by a shooting spree, and the twin attacks have shaken the peaceful nation.

Survivors of the massacre have said there were two assailants, and police were looking for a second suspect. One man has already been charged.

Police spokesman Anders Fridenberg said that the operation was eastern Oslo, but he would not give any further details. The neighbourhood appeared to be residential.

On Friday, a bomb rocked central Oslo, killing seven people. Hours later, gunman opened fire on a nearby island that was hosting a retreat for members of the left leaning Labor Party's youth wing. At least 85 people died there.

The man blamed for the attacks said he was motivated by a desire to bring about a revolution in Norwegian society, his lawyer said Sunday.

A manifesto published online -- which police are poring over and said was posted the day of the attack -- ranted that the European elite, "multiculturalists" and "enablers of Islamization" would be punished for their "treasonous acts." Police have not confirmed that their suspect, 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, wrote the document, but his lawyer referred to it and said Breivik had been working on it for years.

Police and his lawyer have said that Breivik confessed to the twin attacks, but denied criminal responsibility for a day that was the deadliest ever in peacetime. He has been charged with terrorism and will be arraigned on Monday.

In all, 92 people were killed and 97 wounded. There are still people missing at both scenes, and divers searched the waters around the island Saturday for bodies. Body parts remain inside the Oslo building, which housed the prime minister's office.

Norway's King Harald V and his wife Queen Sonja and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg joined mourners on Sunday at Oslo Cathedral, where the pews were packed, and the crowd spilled into the plaza outside the building. The area was strewn with flowers and candles, and people who could not fit in the grand church huddled under umbrellas in the rain.

I feel very sad about all this, Norway is a peaceful nation and to see the bombing in Oslo and the shootings of Utoya Island is heartbreaking, so many young people with promising futures ahead of them. One can have certain political views, but that does not give one the right to ruin the freedoms of others, these bombing and shooting acts are unacceptable. My prayers and thougths are with the victims, their families and all the people of Norway

May Justice be served & peace return to Norway in due course. We must in our sorrow & mourning not reflect hatred , but, find a small place in our hearts to try and "Understand & Cure" how these events happen. Hatred begets Hatred and so the ball continues to roll along from nation to nation. The Religious leaders of the world, need to come to the reality, that the "CHURCHES of MANY FAITHS", need to root out the hatred within their walls for others, and start preaching, "Healing by Learning". I believe "GOD WEEPS", at what we humans do to each other. Norway needs to hear from the world, that we stand with them in - "PEACE & UNDERSTANDING". "PEACE IS THE ANSWER ~ HATRED IS THE CAUSE" !

How about that guy! He says "I did it but I am not responsible.' So he figures that others are the ones responsible because they don't think the way he does? Now he wants to tell it all in court and will plead not guilty! What sick distorted thinking. I sure hope that in Norway he will not get off by using an insanity defense, because I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. Average people would arrange protests and marches to state their opinion. They don't go around killing to make a point!!

If people could've defended themselves there, the death toll would be much lower...I hope the Norwegian government goes after the criminals, and not law-abiding gun owners like some politicians advocate here...

Hopefully those responsible will dangle at the end of a rope.

Hopefully they will dig up this nest of right wing racists and lock them all behind bars. Right wing extremists only understand violence - they must be dealt with in as harsh and unforgiving a manner as possible. Lock them up and throw away the key.

This is horrible but how do one or maybe 2 men kill over 75 people over the course of hours? Was this guy a navy seal ? I doubt it. At some point you have to stop running and hiding and stand up and fight for your life.
