Norway Terrorism

I agree with Mack"s professional opinion. I also thought Norway was a peace-loving nation but like Mack says "Assole's are everywhere" :'( :'( :eek: :eek: :( :( :'( :'(
 
The U.S. can NOT let its guard down. They are hiding and waiting for the right time. So far, our authorities have done an EXCELLENT job at protecting us. But it sure ain't over yet. As the saying goes, "if you see something, say something".

Between 1970 and 2010, only 15 terrorist attacks occurred in Norway, according to the Global Terrorism Database, a project of the University of Maryland that has been recording terrorist attacks since 1970. By comparison, 2,347 acts of terrorism occurred in the United States during this period.

(The GTD considers specific criteria when labeling an incident an act of terrorism. More information can be found here.)

Norway - "15 terror attacks over 40 years left one person dead and 13 wounded, according to the database, and paled in comparison to the destruction of Friday's attacks.

Indeed, The Economist calls Friday's attack "the most devastating attack on a Scandinavian country since the second world war."

The attacks between 1970 and 2010 include two bombings, two hijackings, an assassination attempt, and attacks on government facilities, among others. They were confined to Oslo and carried out by a variety of groups, according to the GDT, from Kurdish militants to Iranian opposition groups."
