| Norway Bomb attack: Suspicion falls on Islamist militants, Norway home of cleric Mullah Krekar attacked | |
Norway's role in Afghanistan and its decision to file terrorism charges against a Muslim cleric may explain the Oslo bomb attack

Oslo police have confirmed the source of the blast that damaged the prime minister's offices in Oslo was a bomb. The question now is who is likely to be behind it.
The most obvious conclusion would be a jihadist group.
It has been known for some time that al-Qaida and other related "franchises" – including the most active groups in Yemen – have been trying to develop operations. Which leads to a second question: why Norway?
The answer is threefold: In the first instance, with increased levels of security and surveillance in the UK and the US as well as other European capitals, Norway might have been seen as a softer target despite the recent breaking up of an al-Qaida cell in Norway.
