Like Tigers Norwegian massacre suspect used fertilizer to make bombs

Norwegian terrorist bombs that killed more than 90 people - mostly young summer vacationers have been ironically made with fertilizer , a method popularized by the Tigers in Sri Lanka during the heyday of the LTTE terrorism.
Police drag a trailer on a quad bike as they collect bodies at Utoeya island some 40kms south west of Oslo on July 23,. At least 91 were killed in July 22 attacks in Norway, a bombing in central Oslo and a shooting spree on an island just outside the capital. AFP
Norway has allegedly become a safe haven for the ex-LTTE terrorists but there is no indication that the most recent bombing incident is directly connected with the Tigers who allegedly received the sympathy of the ruling Labour Party of Norway.
In fact, the alleged sympathies of the alleged suspect of the bombing were with the Norwegian conservative wing opposition. When Sri Lankan government banned artificial fertilizer to the North and East the State Department officials expressed shock and dismay against the decision saying it could be described as an anti-Tamil move. It was Sri Lankan officials who told them fertilizer could be used to make devastating bombs. This was later proved to be true in the terrorist bombings in the United States.
The suspect of the bombing incident later appears to have moved out of the city and established Breivik Geofarm, a company Norwegian media is describing as a farming sole proprietorship set up to cultivate vegetables, melons, roots and tubers.
A supply company has come forward to say that it delivered six tons of fertilizer to this company in May - an ingredient used in bomb-making.
The Norway Post said: “Norwegians went to bed following serious terrorist attacks Friday night, and woke up to a national tragedy: Saturday morning it became clear that 84 young people had been massacred at a political youth camp, while seven had been killed in an earlier bomb blast in Oslo.
The bomb blast Friday afternoon partly destroyed major parts of two large government buildings, while windows in a number of nearby buildings where shattered. Seven people were reported killed, and 10 were taken to hospital.
A few hours later, reports started coming in of shooting at the annual Labour Party youth camp a few miles west of Oslo, at Utoya. First reports said at least ten people had been shot and killed by a man dressed in a police uniform, and a number of people had been seriously wounded and airlifted to hospitals in the Oslo area.
Ironically, the tiny tear shaped island of Utoya slightly resembles in shape Sri Lanka where the Norwegians were trying to establish a warm water station allegedly with the cooperation of Tigers posing as peace negotiators.
The Norway Post added: “The terror police arrested a 32-year-old man on the island, and charged him with the shooting.
“By Saturday morning it became clear that at least 84 people had been killed in the shooting, and police feared that this number may rise. “The arrested man is said to have expressed extreme right wing political views, and to have expressed opposition to a multiracial society in Norway.
“Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg quickly went on national television to assure the public that although the government offices had been severely damaged, the Government was still functioning, and would coordinate all operations.”
And the BBC added, “Anders Behring Breivik, the 32-year-old suspect in Friday’s attacks, held right-wing views, say police.
“Police chief Sveinung Sponheim said his internet postings “suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views”.
“But whether that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen,” he told Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
“On the Facebook page attributed to him, he describes himself as a Christian and a conservative. The Facebook page is no longer available but it also listed interests such as bodybuilding and freemasonry.
Mr Breivik was a member of a Swedish neo-Nazi internet forum called Nordisk, according to Expo, a Swedish group monitoring far-right activity. Police say they are investigating whether there was a second attacker, as witness statements appear to suggest.
