Man Held After 91 Killed In Norway Attacks

A 32-year-old Norwegian suspect has been arrested after at least 91 people were killed in two attacks in Norway.

At least seven people died in Oslo after a huge car bomb exploded close to buildings which house the offices of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg .

A further 84 were killed when a man dressed as a police officer opened fire on the island of Utoya where a youth meeting of the ruling Labour Party was taking place.

Previously, police had said that at least 10 had been killed on the holiday island but the death toll rose dramatically early this morning.

Police chief Oystein Maeland told a news conference: "We can't guarantee that won't increase", adding the attack had reached "catastrophic dimensions".

Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik has now been charged with both attacks, according to Reuters news agency.

Police are understood to have searched a flat in west Oslo where he lived.

An anonymous police official said the suspect was arrested in Utoya and appears to have acted alone in the attacks.

He added he did not think the attacks were "linked to any international terrorist organisations" but seemed to be the work of a "madman".

Norway's TV2 claimed the suspect has links to right-wing extremism, without disclosing its sources.

Around 600 people were believed to be taking part in the summer camp on Utoya - most of whom were teenagers aged between 14 and 18.

Undetonated explosives were found on the island after police carried out a search.

The Prime Minister had been due to attend the event on Saturday.

Mr Stoltenberg said that Norway would gain strength from the attacks.

"We are a small country, but a very proud one," he said.

"Nobody can bomb us to be quiet. Nobody can shoot us to be quiet. Nobody can ever scare us from being Norway."

Sky's senior news correspondent Ian Woods is in Oslo and said that the island is around 20 miles from the capital.

He said that although police would not confirm whether other people were involved, it was possible the gunman had worked alone as there was a 90-minute gap between the two incidents.

Witnesses said the gunman moved across the small, wooded Utoya island firing at random as young people fled in fear.

They added the gunman might have had a pistol and an automatic weapon.

Jorgen Benone was on the island and said he saw people being shot by the man .

He said he saw people jumping into the water to try and save themselves, but he thought that "many lost their lives trying to escape".

"I was terrified for my life - I thought of all the people I love," he said.

The mayor of Oslo, Fabian Stang, said he would not have believed Norway could be attacked.

He said he wished he could have been on Utoya "to stand in front of the young people and ask the gunman to shoot me instead."

At least seven people were killed in the bombing outside the government buildings - with 10 seriously injured.

The blast shook the city centre, blowing out the windows of Mr Stoltenberg's offices and damaging the finance and oil ministry buildings.

Mr Stoltenberg was not in the building at the time.

Briton Craig Barnes, who lives in Oslo, said that he was shocked at what happened.

"It is a very nice, safe place to live," he said.

"Norwegians are very friendly and I think everyone gets on.

"I think this is going to change a lot of views now. There will be questions regarding safety."

British Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama have both condemned the attacks.
