A loud explosion shattered windows at the government headquarters which includes the prime minister's office, injuring several people and reportedly killing at least one.

Norwegian broadcaster NRK says one person has been confirmed dead in the explosion.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg is safe, government spokeswoman Camilla Ryste told The Associated Press. There was no immediate word on the cause of the blast

Witness Ole Tommy Pedersen was standing at a bus stop about 100 meters (yards) from the high-rise at around 3:30 pm (13.30 GMT) when he saw the blast shatter almost all windows of the 20-floor highrise. He said a cloud of smoke is billowing from the bottom floors.

"I saw three or four injured people being carried out of the building a few minutes later," Pedersen told The Associated Press.

Video shown by Norwegian broadcaster NRK showed most of the windows of the building had been blown out. The bottom floor appeared to be completely gutted. Shattered glass and debris littered a square in front of the building.

Nearby offices were evacuated including those housing some of Norway's leading newspapers and news agency NTB. Some of them were also damaged.

An AP reporter who was in the NTB office said the building shook from the blast and all employees evacuated the building as the alarm went off. Down at the street he saw one person with a bleeding leg being led away from the area.

The government building houses the prime minister's office and his administration. Several ministries are in surrounding buildings.

The blast comes as the Scandinavian country has grappled with a series of homegrown terror plots linked to al-Qai'da, and six years after an uproar over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in neighboring Denmark.

Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he's deported from the Nordic country.

The indictment centered on statements that Mullah Krekar — the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam — made to various media, including American network NBC.

Danish authorities say they have foiled several terror plots linked to the 2005 newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that triggered protests in Muslim countries.

Last month, a Danish appeals court sentenced a Somali man to 10 years in prison for breaking into the home of a cartoonist who caricatured the Prophet Muhammad

@SuckDeezNutzBitch

We were not blaming Afghanistan, 4 terrorist groups took the blame!

but at the end, this NORWEGIAN WHITE CHRISTIAN guy was behind it all.

R.I.P

What most spammers and conspiracy nutcases on this page understand:

he targeted young socialists mainly - in his mind, rightful actually, those ppl were responsible for swamping the country with muslim- and turk-scum and since those targeted were meant to be the future generation, he prevented them from allowing more into the country.

I may not agree with his methods but I can see the motivation on the streets every day ... get that scum out of Europe before there will be more bloodshed.

i kinda dont understand how a fellow norweigen can take 87 lifes this guy deserves more than the death penalty a slow painfull torture for the rest of his life i really ent surprised that they blame it on the afgans sort of the only people they blame when shit like this happens.

[beauty101115]

now everyone dont get mad for what i am about to say please. First, i can kinda see where he is coming from... i mean norway people cant go to Afghanistan expecting the same treatment as here,, y is that fair? how come we have to give up our homeland, food, money, and everything WE work for, for someone else that is not even raised here, or believes what we believe? I feel for the parents and people of the killings, i am a mom, i can understand. But this guy felt invaded, even torn, so he acted

@fenriz218

and lets assume they do increase in number, so fucking what? Will they stop you choosing a partner of your liking? Will they steal your academic place at university? will they stop you going clubbing? , but some may help you get home in a Taxi, may work hard and diagnose your condition in hospital, whilst you forget that they are over there because so many of your own are over there. You stupid silly racist idiot. Islam ios a religion of peace, & they dont have sex with children

@SuckDeezNutzBitch What aboot Canada, eh?

Seriously though.

@Nebelwerfer89

It was a Christian who did it, you IDIOT

Should i start calling all Christians terrorists after the Oslo attacks? same as after 9/11 attacks?

i mean if one terrorist attack by Muslims caused the entire western world to hate Muslims and call all of them terrorists. shouldn't we do the same to Christians... next could be Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and atheists. why not always judge millions of people by actions of few violent radicals? it seems like the way the wind blows nowdays.

[dulsen2011]

Why you idiots don't talk about christians ?? If it was muslim them you would have said all muslims are terrorist... And now i say christians are terrorist devils how about that??

[Scootertuner1000]

@annuity100 That's all kind of odd, considering the newspaper was in Denmark, not Norway

[MultiMerrie1]
