A massive bombing Friday in the heart of Oslo was followed by a horrific shooting spree on an island hosting a youth retreat for the prime minister's center-left party. The same man, a Norwegian, dressed as a police officer gunned down at least 84 people at an island retreat. Investigators are still searching the surrounding waters, where people fled the attack. The gunman, reported to be a Christian fundamentalist, anti-Muslim views, was suspected in both attacks.
