Police say they are sending anti-terror squad to a youth camp outside Oslo after reports of a shooting there following the bomb blast at the government headquarters.
News reports said that a man dressed in a police uniform opened fire at the camp. It says several people were injured.
Oslo police chief Anstein Gjengdal said anti-terror units were being sent to the camp at Utoya, outside the Norwegian capital. One person has been arrested from the island.
He had no other information on that incident, which came hours after a bomb blast outside the government headquarters killed at least two people and injured 15.
It was the deadliest bombing ever in Oslo, normally associated with the Nobel Peace Prize that is awarded there.
Unknown group Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (Helpers of Global Jihad) seemed to make a claim of responsibility.
They claim it is in response to the occupation of Afghanistan and insults to the Prophet Mohammed in Norwegian periodicals publishing the cartoons. It has come via Shmukh, an elite jihadi forum.
