At least 80 people died when a gunman opened fire at an island youth camp in Norway, hours after a bomb attack on the capital, Oslo, police say.
Oslo police are questioning a 32-year-old Norwegian man in connection with Friday's attacks.
The man was arrested on tiny Utoeya island outside Oslo, where police say he opened fire on teenagers.
Earlier, the number of dead from the island shooting spree, which is among the world's most deadly, was put at 10.
The Oslo bomb attack killed at least seven people. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, whose offices were among those badly hit by the blast, described the attacks as "bloody and cowardly".
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but the suspect is reported by local media to have had links with right-wing extremists.
'Posed as policeman'
Hundreds of young people were attending the summer camp organised by the ruling Labour Party on Utoeya island.
Eyewitnesses described how a tall, blonde man dressed as a policeman opened fire indiscriminately, prompting camp attendees to jump into the water to try and escape the hail of bullets.
Some of the teenagers were shot at as they tried to swim to safety; police say they discovered many more victims after searching the area around the island.
"It goes without saying that this gives dimensions to this incident that are exceptional," police director Oystein Maeland is quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
Police warned the death toll may rise further as rescue teams continued to scour the waters around the island.
The gunman is reported to have been armed with a handgun, an automatic weapon and a shotgun.
"He travelled on the ferry boat from the mainland over to that little inland island posing as a police officer, saying he was there to do research in connection with the bomb blasts," NRK journalist Ole Torp told the BBC.
"He asked people to gather round and then he started shooting, so these young people fled into the bushes and woods and some even swam off the island to get to safety."
One 15-year-old eyewitness described how she saw what she thought was a police officer open fire.
"He first shot people on the island. Afterward he started shooting people in the water," youth camp delegate Elise told the Associated Press news agency.
Mr Stoltenberg had been due to visit the camp on Saturday. Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store, who visited the camp on Thursday, praised those who were attending.
"The country has no finer youth than young people who go for a summer camp doing politics, doing discussions, doing training, doing football, and then they experience this absolutely horrendous act of violence," he said.
'Despicable violence'
In Oslo, government officials urged people to stay at home and avoid central areas of the city.
Shards of twisted metal, rubble and glass littered the streets of central Oslo left devastated by Friday's enormous explosion.
Windows in thebuildings of the government quarter were shattered and witnesses described how smoke filled the atmosphere around the blast site.
There are also concerns that more victims may still be inside buildings hit by the initial massive explosion.
Emergency services have had difficulty accessing these buildings amid concerns about further possible explosions as well as fears the blast may have left buildings unstable.
The US has condemned the "despicable acts of violence" in Oslo, while the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, said the "acts of cowardice" had no justification.

Comments
I feel sorry for the people that died and for all those brainless Norwegians who are probably going to buy into this bullshit. They're saying he's "anti-muslim", yet he attacked the Government and killed innocent children? Can it get more full of shit yet?
They're a nation of dicks, I swear.
I second this.
The death count is over 90 now.
Shit don't add up. I don't give a fuck who you are, one man can't blow up a government building simultaneously going off on a shooting spree and wind up killing 87 people and be a Mr. Nobody. Doesn't add up, and the recent history with Israel screams Mossad. If you were a police officer at the scene and seeing this guy and dozens of dead bodies, are you seriously going to say "Freeze!" and wait until he runs out of ammo and arrest him, or shoot him dead? Come on now...
I feel like Israel has much bigger and more powerful countries they are more worried about and focused on that fucking Norway.
Of course I'd shoot him dead.... when did I suggest I wouldn't?
Looks more like a gawddamn nazi.
I was talking to a friend who was visiting family in Oslo last week. He said there's a lot of rising concern over hard right neo nazi groups. Apparently this guy had an extremist website and connections to some of those groups.
What you are missing here are first of all that the shooting took place on a small island where i can only guess there was no police at the scene.
AND that all police in the area were probably called in to secure the bomb site, in Oslo.
Also from what i understand normaly norweigian police do not carry firearms, (!!! WTF)
Also worth to note is that when have American or other countries policeforces ever confronted the shooter at a mass shooting?
Normal police are mostly there to establish a perimiter and then wait for tactical teams, whatever they might be called in the country in question...
Also the gunman was dressed as a police officer, adding to the confusion...
Also i dont see why a single person could not have done it, its not that hard to leave a bomb with one of those handy inventions called a timer...:facepalm:
Im not saying that he must have acted alone but i can see how it is possible, Timothy McVeigh certainly managed to do quite some damage by himself and from what i understand it was only by chance that he was arrested after the bombing.
All very true except you forgot about Terry Nichols
The guy wrote a nutty "manifesto".
From what i know he was only involved in the planing of the attack, not the attack itself...
But i see your point.
Also, who knows... he could very well have been there that day too even if it would never be proved.
What i mean is there is nothing about building and placing a bomb that really requires more then one person, and it could very well have been done well before it was acctualy detonated.
He could very well have detonated it by cellphone from the island itself, if those crazy arabs manage to figure it out im sure a norweigian could manage.
No argument here...

My little rant was not meant against you to begin with, more against the "omg conspiracy, jews did it" crowd... Sorry if it seemed to be directed at you.
Anyway, looks like the number of dead is up to 93 now.
I did not take it that way at all. It's all good. I was basically agreeing with your points and simply added the Terry Nichols bit to illustrate one man can execute a plan like this insofar as the field op end of it. Even if he had help in the planning stages.
This has Israeli Mossad written all over it. Yet another 'Lone Gunman' homegrown, suspected Nationalist, (who I might add, massacred 87 people in two different locations nearly simultaneously). Anyone with two eyes and a decent brain could figure this one out. Complete shock factor by killing innocent kids after making a political statement by attacking the Government of Norway right after Israel called Norway's "talk" anti-semetic with their world policy, and a day after Norway held Pro-Palestinian rallies where Norway was considering claiming Palestine to be a legitimate nation. Add on that the Norwegian government is one of the few western nations in the world that allows their press to freely talk about zionism, for example: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/uriks/article4127159.ece which was actually originally titled "Rike jøder truer Obama" (Rich Jews threaten Obama). Although Norway has very much embraced multiculturalism, nearly all of its immigrants are muslim, most of whom do not hold very nice views about the Israeli government.
I feel sorry for the people that died and for all those brainless Norwegians who are probably going to buy into this crap. They're saying he's "anti-muslim", yet he attacked the Government and killed innocent children? Contrary to the popular false beliefs the media is trying to spread, the extreme right in Norway is even more anti-Isreal than the current left-leaning government, which is currently only using soft words to condemn Israel's human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territory. How much more unbelievable could it get?
PS Although I disagree with the posters opinion, I still think the "I bet the Jews did this" tangled Christmas lights picture was hilarious.
That was fast.
I have mirrored it here.
The whole thing screams "bullshit"...
It wasn't a national holiday... it's "holiday season" over there so everyone goes on vacation, like when senate goes on recess, so it makes perfect sense the building were near empty.
Read "3.154" it's the prep stage of the shit that goes down.
Knight Templar? lol!
I'd be with you on this if it weren't for the ~100 people shot dead at a sleep-away camp for liberal teenagers. He was a political extremist, he bought a large quantity of fertilizer prior to the large fertilizer bomb going off, he released a manifesto on the same day as the attacks, and he surrendered and admitted responsibility to the police.
