The total death toll from the terrorist attacks in Norway - almost 90 people
According to the latest data, at least 80 people died in Norway on the island of Uteya. Thus, the total number of victims in Oslo and Worthy is almost 90. On the eve of about six o'clock in the evening Moscow time, there was an explosion in the center of the Norwegian capital, in the quarter where government offices are located. And just a few hours later, it was reported that an unknown person opened fire at a youth camp on the island of Uteya, near Oslo.
During the night, the numbers are changing rapidly - dozens have already died in Utayya. Imagine the scale of the disaster before it was simply impossible. All this time there was a search operation - after all, after the attacker opened fire, everyone escaped as best he could, many jumped into the water.
“A panic began, people jumped out of the windows, many ran to the water. We saw a man in police uniform, he shouted“ come here, ”and he had a rifle in his hands. Some tried to swim, others hid behind the stones on the shore. I saw everything with my own eyes, "recalls Jörgen Benon, a vacationer from a youth camp.
According to eyewitnesses, an explosion in Oslo, which thundered several hours earlier, was being discussed in the camp. Then it seemed that nothing could happen worse. The shots taken in the Norwegian capital immediately after the terrorist attack are “trembling”: the cameraman does not know which way to run first. Everywhere around a terrible picture. Through the clouds of smoke and dust one can see the scale of destruction: broken glass, crumpled cars and mountains of scattered documents - an explosion occurred in the office district of Oslo.
Versions two - the most powerful bomb or bombs (not yet clear) were laid in a parked car or in the building of the popular Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang. But it is unlikely the attack was directed against the journalists of the publication. At the crossroad of Akersgat and Grensen streets, where in the afternoon (about half past three in the evening local time) and an explosion thundered, most of the ministries and the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg are concentrated. The head of the Norwegian Cabinet did not suffer, was away. And after the tragedy, the special services urged him not to tell his whereabouts - for security reasons.
“Norway is shocked by these bloody attacks. It is still unclear, one can only say that the number of victims is large. stories Our country was not ", - says Stoltenberg.
The local TV channel NRK has already shown photos of the suspect - this is a kind of Anders Bering Breivik. However, the police has not yet confirmed this information - the investigators say only that the identity of the detainee, 32-year-old Norwegian, has been established. He is being interrogated.
Norwegian police have already called the scale of the tragedy "catastrophic." But the blow could have been even more powerful - the dog experts found an explosive device that had not worked on the island of Uteya. And this is another argument in favor of the version that the same persons are behind the organization of the attacks.
