The gunman has been identified locally as Anders Breivik, 32, who is said to have right-wing and anti-Muslim views. The blond, blue-eyed Norwegian's Oslo flat was searched by detectives last night.

Norway's Prime Minister said 'a youth paradise turned into hell' when a gunman dressed as a police officer killed at least 85 people at a summer camp on an island outside Oslo after blowing up a further seven in the capital.

The death toll rose this afternoon after a further body was found on the island. Early this evening police said 4 or 5 people are still unaccounted for on the island.

It has emerged that the man at the centre of the attack is also a member of a Swedish Nazi forum which encourages attacks on government buildings.

The revelations were revealed by Swedish newspaper Expo who claim Anders Breivik is part of 'Nordisk' which has 22,000 members and focuses on political terrorism.

The 32-year-old who has been identified as the suspect by Norwegian media is also said to have anti-Muslim viewed.

Police are searching the blond, blue-eyed man's registered flat, in a four-storey red brick building in west Oslo, which is being heavily guarded by 10 officers.

Officers are also still searching the surrounding waters, where people fled the attack, with divers and a mini-submarine.

It has also just been revealed that there is a new bomb alert in the capital and police have reportedly sealed off an area called Solli Plass, an area close to the royal palace.

A spokesman for local police has said that police are continuing to search the area surrounding Utoeya island and said that many of the people who tried to escape by swimming to shore are unaccounted for.

The names of the dead will not be released until relatives have been informed.

It took investigators several hours to realise the full horror of yesterday's massacre, which followed an explosion in nearby Oslo that killed seven, set off, police said, by the same suspect.

However there is uncertainty whether the guns belonged to one gunman or there was a second involved.

Police said 'there are no concrete reports of a second gunman, although we're not excluding any possibilities'.

The Norwegian Prime Minister met survivors and families of victims today. He said the he personally knew several of those killed.

Jens Stoltenberg flew by helicopter to a hotel in the nearby town of Sundvollen where many survivors were being counselled and interviewed by police.

Relatives converged on the hotel to reunite with their loved ones or to identify their dead.

'A whole world is thinking of them,' the prime minister said, his voice cracking with emotion.

Norwegian King Harald, Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon also visited the hotel to comfort survivors and their families.

He added: 'To meet the victims and grieving relatives is deeply affecting me. It’s powerful, and my compassion is limitless. On behalf of our country, we wish to express our greatest sympathy with the victims. The entire nation is behind you.

‘A lot of people have told me that they refuse to be scared and that they want to return to Utoeya as soon as possible. We’re a small country but we feel great solidarity with the victims and the presence of the King and Queen conveys the strong support for the people who have lost friends, children, cousins and other relatives. One of the greatest aspects of this country has been showcased today and we’ll do anything to extend our help and empathy.’

It has also emerged that the suspect bought six tonnes of fertiliser in May.

Farming supply company Felleskjopet in Rena, Hedmark, confirmed that Anders Breivik had placed the order under a company he owned called Breivik Geofarm.

A spokesman confirmed the 32-year-old had access to large amounts of fertilizer and that it wasn’t unusual.

‘These are goods that were delivered on May 4,’ Oddny Estenstad, a spokeswoman at agricultural supply chain Felleskjoepet Agri, told Reuters, without giving the exact type of fertiliser purchased.

‘It was 6 tonnes of fertiliser, which is a small, normal order for a standard agricultural producer. I do not know him or the company, except that it is a company that has contacted us in a normal manner and ordered fertiliser and had it delivered,’ she said.

Police detained a second man today who was accused of carrying a knife outside a hotel where Norway's prime minister was meeting families of shooting victims.

The man told reporters he was a member of the Labor Party's youth wing and was carrying a knife 'because I feel unsafe'.

The country's media are reporting that Breivik set up a Twitter account few days ago and posted: 'One person with a belief is equal to 100,000 who have only interests'

Oslo police spokeswoman Carol Sandbye told the BBC: 'He has been charged with two counts of terrorism. They have just started to interrogate him.'

She said he would have to appear in court within three days.

A police official says the gunman is co-operating. He said: 'He is clear on the point that he wants to explain himself.'

The motive for the attacks was unclear but this morning police said he was co-operating. 'He is clear on the point that he wants to explain himself,' said a spokesman.

He added that the gunman had posted websites with Christian fundamentalist tendencies.

The mass shootings are among the worst in history. With the blast outside the prime minister's office, they formed the deadliest day of terror in Western Europe since the 2004 Madrid train bombings killed 191.

A police official says the gunman may have had 30 minutes for his killing spree.

Johan Fredriksen said today a SWAT team was put on standby after a bombing in Oslo that killed seven people. One man is thought to have planted the bomb and then headed to the island for the massacre.

When asked how long it took the SWAT team to arrive at the island after the shooting began, Fredriksen said: 'It takes the time it takes to drive fast.' He said that was about 30 minutes.

Police initially said about 10 were killed at the forested camp on the island of Utoya, but some survivors said they thought the toll was much higher. Early today police director Oystein Maeland said they had discovered many more victims.

'It's taken time to search the area. What we know now is that we can say that there are at least 80 killed at Utoya,' Mr Maeland said. "It goes without saying that this gives dimensions to this incident that are exceptional.'

Mr Maeland warned that the death toll could rise and said others were severely injured.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told reporters Saturday that he had spent many summers on the island of Utoya, which was hosting a youth retreat for his party.

Utoya is 'my childhood paradise that yesterday was transformed into Hell,' he said at a news conference in the capital at which Storberget also appeared.

A police official said the suspect appeared to have acted alone in both attacks and 'it seems like that this is not linked to any international terrorist organisations at all'.

'This seems like a madman's work,' he added.

Domestic terrorists carried out the 1995 attack on a US government building in Oklahoma City, while foreign terrorists were responsible for the September 11 2001 attacks.

Both attacks were in areas connected to the ruling Labour Party government. The youth camp, about 20 miles north west of Oslo, is organised by the party's youth wing and the prime minister Jens Stoltenberg had been due to speak there today.

A 15-year-old camper named Elise said she heard gunshots, but then saw a police officer and thought she was safe. Then he started shooting people right before her eyes.

'I saw many dead people,' said Elise. 'He first shot people on the island. Afterwards he started shooting people in the water.'

Elise said she hid behind the same rock that the killer was standing on. 'I could hear his breathing from the top of the rock,' she said.

She said it was impossible to say how many minutes passed while she was waiting for him to stop.

At a hotel in the village of Sundvollen, where survivors of the shooting were taken, 21-year-old Dana Berzingi, wearing trousers stained with blood, said the fake police officer ordered people to come closer, then pulled weapons and ammunition from a bag and started shooting.

Several victims 'had pretended as if they were dead to survive,' Mr Berzingi said. But after shooting the victims with one gun, the gunman shot them again in the head with a shotgun, he said.

'I lost several friends,' said Mr Berzingi, who used the mobile phone of one of those friends to call police.

The Queen has written to the King of Norway to express her shock and sadness at the attacks in his country, Buckingham Palace said today.

She said her and the Duke of Edinburgh's thoughts were with the Norwegian people.

Her message to King Harald read: "I am deeply saddened and shocked by the tragic loss of life of so many people on the island of Utoya and in Oslo.

'Prince Philip joins me in extending our heartfelt sympathy to Your Majesty and the people of Norway. Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the dreadful atrocity.'

Members of the public in Britain also voiced their solidarity and sympathy, posting messages of support on the Facebook page for the Norwegian Embassy in London.

The blast in Oslo, Norway's capital and the city where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded, left a square covered in twisted metal, shattered glass and documents expelled from surrounding buildings.

Most of the windows in the 20-floor high-rise where Mr Stoltenberg and his administration work were shattered. Other buildings damaged house government offices and the headquarters of some of Norway's leading newspapers.

The dust-fogged scene after the blast reminded one visitor from New York of September 11.

Ian Dutton, who was in a nearby hotel, said people 'just covered in rubble' were walking through 'a fog of debris'.

'It wasn't any sort of a panic. It was really just people in disbelief and shock, especially in a such as safe and open country as Norway. You don't even think something like that is possible.'

Police said the Oslo explosion was caused by 'one or more' bombs.

A police official, speaking anonymously, said the Oslo bombing occurred at 3.26pm local time (2.26pm BST), and the camp shootings began one to two hours later.

The official said the gunman used both automatic weapons and handguns, and that there was at least one unexploded device at the youth camp that a police bomb disposal team and military experts were working on disarming today.

The suspect had only a minor criminal record, the official said.

National police chief Sveinung Sponheim said seven people were killed by the blast in central Oslo, four of whom have been identified, and that nine or 10 people were seriously injured.

Mr Sponheim said a man was arrested in the shooting, and the suspect had been observed in Oslo before the explosion there.

He said the camp shooter "wore a sweater with a police sign on it. I can confirm that he wasn't a police employee and never has been".

Mr Sponheim told public broadcaster NRK that the suspected gunman's internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed towards the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen".

Mr Stoltenberg, who was home when the blast occurred and was not harmed, condemned the "cowardly attack on young innocent civilians".

"I have message to those who attacked us," he said. "It's a message from all of Norway: You will not destroy our democracy and our commitment to a better world.'

GUNMAN BECKONED TO TEENAGERS TO COME CLOSER, WHEN THEY DID HE KILLED THEM

The man in the police uniform shouted for the campers to come closer. When they did, he killed them.

The gunman who killed at least 80 people at an island youth camp north west of Oslo used his disguise to lure in his victims, then shot them twice to make sure they were dead, survivors said in the village of Sundvollen, where they were taken after the massacre.

Speaking on the phone to Sky News Adrian Pracon said he heard the killer shout that everyone was going to die.

The 21-year-old said: 'He yelled out that he was going to kill us all and that we must all die. I started speculating and thinking this can't be real because Norwegian people wouldn't attack Norway.'

Mr Pracon also described how he could hear the gunman's boots as he walked along the rocks and felt his breath moments before he shot him in the back.

'I was lying on a rock, face down and I could hear him coming. I could feel his breath.
'As he approached, he shot at me to see if I was dead and fortunately I didn't move so he thought I was dead.

'I was laying there for two hours, still healthy but very cold.'

Before he was shot Mr Pracon said he had tried to escape the island by swimming into the ocean but only managed a short distance before deciding to turn back.

'I jumped into the water like the rest of the people but I did not have time to take my clothes off and it had started to rain.

'When I had swum about 100 metres I felt I had to turn back because I started to get very cold and felt I might meet a certain death.'

Once he reached the shore he saw Breivik who pointed his gun at him.

'I screamed to him, please no please. I didn't know if he didn't want to just kill me because I was one person or if he preferred to kill a group of people.

'Later he started shooting out of nowhere and I was hiding behind the bodies.'

Elise, 15, said was just feet away from the gunman when he opened fire in the camp on Utoya island: 'I saw many dead people.'

Elise said she had just come out from an information meeting in a nearby building when she heard gunshots. She saw a police officer and thought she was safe, but then he started shooting.

'He first shot people on the island. Afterwards he started shooting people in the water," she said.

Elise said she hid behind the same rock that the killer was standing on. "I could hear his breathing from the top of the rock," she said.
In panic, the girl phoned her parents, whispering to them what was going on.

'They told me not to panic and that everything would be OK," she said.

Her parents also told her to get rid of a brightly coloured jacket she was wearing to not draw attention to herself.

She said it was impossible to say how many minutes passed while she was waiting for him to stop.

Survivors described a scene of sheer terror at the camp, which is organised by the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour party.

Hundreds of young people were eagerly awaiting a speech the prime minister was to give there today.

Several of the survivors seemed calm as anxious parents picked them up at a Sundvollen hotel, but the stories they told were of utter terror.

Dana Berzingi said the fake police officer ordered people to come closer, then pulled weapons and ammunition from a bag and started shooting.

Several victims "had pretended as if they were dead to survive," the 21-year-old said. But after shooting the victims with one gun, the gunman shot them again in the head with a shotgun, he said.

"I lost several friends," said Mr Berzingi, whose trousers were stained with blood. He said he used the mobile phone of one of his fallen friends to call police.

OSLO ATTACK EVOKES MEMORIES OF BOMBING IN OKLAHOMA CITY

The bombing of the government building in Oslo has evoked memories of Timothy McVeigh's attack on the Oklahoma City federal building 16 years ago.

The explosion at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995 killed 168 people and injured more than 600.

McVeigh (pictured right) was convicted on federal murder charges and executed in 2001.

McVeigh's Army friend, Terry Nichols, was convicted on federal and state bombing-related charges and is serving multiple life sentences at a federal prison in Colorado.

McVeigh was stopped on Interstate 35 by Oklahoma highway patrol trooper Charlie Hanger on the day of the bombing because his 1977 Mercury Marquis did not have a licence plate.

Hanger went on to be elected sheriff of Noble County, Oklahoma, in 2004.

McVeigh, a US Army veteran and security guard, was 26 when he carried out the attack by detonating a lorry bomb outside the building.

It was said to be the deadliest act of terrorism within the United States before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

McVeigh was seeking revenge against the federal government for the way it handled the siege at Waco in Texas, which ended in the deaths of 76 people exactly two years earlier.

The siege had begun in February 1993 when the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tried to execute a search warrant at a ranch run by the Branch Davidian religious sect at Mount Carmel, near Waco.

A gun battle broke out in which four agents and six Branch Davidians were killed.

A siege was initiated by the FBI , which ended 50 days later when a second assault on the compound was made and a fire destroyed it.

McVeigh drove to Waco during the crisis to show his support for those under siege. He distributed pro-gun rights literature and bumper stickers, such as 'When guns are outlawed, I will become an outlaw'.
