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 both attacks.
The man was arrested on tiny Utoeya island outside Oslo, where police say he opened fire on teenagers.
The earlier bomb attack killed at least seven people. The attacks are the worst Norway has seen since World War II.
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, whose Oslo offices were among those badly hit by the blast, described the attacks as "bloody and cowardly".
Hundreds of young people were attending a summer camp organised by the ruling Labour Party on Utoeya island.
Eyewitnesses described how a man dressed as a policeman opened fire indiscriminately.
