IDF now claims that they did not claim that groups in Gaza were responsible for the attack of last week on a bus in the south of Israel. They will, however, bomb Gaza anyway… just in case.

We did not say that this group was responsible for the terror attack. We based this on intelligence information as well as some facts that [we] actually presented an hour ago to some wires and journalists. Some of the findings that were from the bodies of the terrorists, and they are using, for example, Kalashnikov bullets and Kalashnikov rifles [which] are very common in Gaza.

Not an hour had elapsed since news of the second attack at Utoya Island when new outlets in the US and David Cameron–who clearly needs better advisors–began the long list of reasons why Norway could be attacked by Muslim fundamentalists. To be fair, Cameron indicated that he would help Norway hunt down the perpetrators, of course this means that in his mind these were the acts of international terrorism and we know who those guys are.
Here we have an extract of the HuffPo trying to peg the tail on the piggy. However shouldn’t someone point out that the victims in Oslo and in Utoya–besides being affiliated with the government–were also the heart of the European left?

Norway is a Nato member and involved in Afghanistan, however it has been scaling down its involvement in operations in Libya.

Yesterday Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store reportedly said the time was ripe to open negotiations with banned Islamist terror group Al-Shabaab.

Al Qaeda have also been known to be active in Norway, with three arrests related to a planned terrorist attack in the country last year.
