He said the agency, known by its Norwegian acronym PST, first became aware of the suspect in 2015 and later grew concerned he had become radicalised and was part of an unspecified Islamist network. Upon the advice of police, organisers cancelled a Pride parade that was set for Saturday as the highlight of a week-long festival.Police lawyer Christian Hatlo said it was too early to say whether the gunman specifically targeted members of the LGBTQ community.Mr Hatlo said the suspect was being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism, based on the number of people targeted at multiple locations.

Another witness, Marcus Nybakken, 46, said he saw a lot of people running and screaming and thought it was a fistfight. Norwegian television channel TV2 showed footage of people running down Oslo streets in panic as shots rang out in the background. Inge Alexander Gjestvang, leader of FRI, a Norwegian organisation for sexual and gender diversity, said the shooting shook the Nordic country’s LGBTQ community.King Harald V offered condolences to the relatives of victims and said the royal family was “horrified” by the attack.

Still atrocious and tragic for those involved - but islamist terror attacks almost seem quaint and of yesteryear as a news item these days.

Those Pfhaar Wright, up to no good again.

Mental health issues created by religious headcases who have a warped ideology. RIP.

There was a prominent man in a dress blaming the far right all morning. I take it he was wrong, like every other opinion of his.
