Interpol are investigating Polish link to Oslo bomb.
According to a report today in the Oslo paper Aftenposten, Breivik had originally planned to arrive on the island of Utøya earlier than he did.

Andrew Boyle adds:

It has emerged from police interviews of Breivik this weekend that his goal was to start his massacre during the visit of Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norway's prime minister through much of the 1980s and 1990s and leader of the World Health Organisation from 1998 to 2003.

Brundtland held a speech for the summer camp on Friday between 11:10 and 12:40 and remained on the island talking to the teenagers for several hours afterwards. Had the attack gone as planned the atrocity may have had a different complexion, with the headline being an assassination attempt on Bruntland and a massacre of teenagers perhaps being prevented by her bodyguards.

What delayed Breivik is not known at present.

12.32pm: NRK is now reporting that the man arrested in Poland has been detained on suspicion of selling chemicals on the internet. No more info yet, according to Oeyvind Wahl.

3. Kinda Hard To Build A Bomb That Big...
From the videos I've seen, that bomb was not one that you could easily put together. Even McVeigh had accomplices in his obsession and I suspect that's what's happening here.

4. Arrest seems to have been denied
The local prosecutor's office, responding to the radio report, has denied that anyone in Wroclaw has been detained or charged in connection with the Norwegian killings.

The office confirmed that police visited the chemicals warehouse on Sunday following a Norwegian police request.

Breivik, however, appeared to be doing business in Poland. He wrote in his internet musings that he had purchased 0.3kg of sodium nitrate for €10 from a Polish vendor. The substance is used both in Norway and Poland as a meat preservative.

Poland's internal security agency, the ABW, appears to have checked out the alleged contacts and has just issued a statement saying that Breivik's contacts in Poland were purely "commercial".

13.31 A bit more on the Poland connection, via Reuters. Polish police are questioning the owner of a fertiliser company in Wroclaw about his contacts, but the deputy head of the national security agency ABW, Pawel Bialek, has told a news conference:

Quote According to our experts, the materials bought in Poland were not critical for the construction of the bomb. At this stage, the information and materials we have do not indicate that the relations with the terrorist were anything other than commercial.

No detentions have been made, and no charges brought against anybody in Poland over the case, he said.
