First and foremost, there is always "speculation" on who the attacker[s] might be. Most suspected radical Muslim jihadists. It wasn't til the next day(or later that night) that more reports/info slowly seeped out about the suspect. When the first report came out about this, like most people, my original thoughts was that it had to be a Muslim terrorist[s]. Remember that Norway(part of the NATO forces) had troops in Afaghnistan and also supported and/or aided in the airstrikes in Libya. So its a natural assumption to suspect Muslim jihadists. It's unheard of, for a Norwegain to commit mass murder on it's own people in moderns times. Ryan,
