Ansar al- Jihad al Alami claim responsibility for Norway Attacks - Norwegian Police says it is most likely not international terrorism.

A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, according to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute that studies terrorism. The message said the attack was a response to Norwegian forces’ presence in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad.

“We have warned since the Stockholm raid of more operations,” the group said, according to Mr. McCants’ translation, apparently referring to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010. “What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come.” The claim could not be confirmed.

The guy arrested by the police at Utøya (Where the Labour Party Youth have their summer camp) was blonde and Caucasian.

Norwegian Police say it was most likely not to be international terrorism.
