The 32-year-old Norwegian man arrested for gunning down children on a holiday island and detonating a car bomb in Oslo has been named locally as Anders Behring Breivik.

Described as 6ft tall and blond, he is reported to have arrived on the island of Utoyadressed as a policeman and opened fire after beckoning several young people over in his native Norwegian tongue.

Assistant Chief Constable Egil Vrekke of the Oslo Police confirms two people have died.

He says police know there have been "a lot" of casualties but the rescue operation is ongoing.

At least 85 people are now confirmed dead after a shooting spree at a Norwegian youth camp.
That attack came just a matter of hours after a powerful blast in downtown Oslo claimed at least seven lives. The Norwegian Prime Minister said more democracy and openness is the answer to the violence.

But Helge Luras from the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs believes it's the country's polices of multiculturalism that turned the gunman against his own.
