Btw, I am in no way condoning the "terrorist" that carried out the attack, just questioning that this was a direct attack on Parliament.
Breivik set off a bomb in Oslo to distract the coppers etc before heading to Utoya. Good distraction technique, same as Elms causing mayhem nearby to get people heading there - you'll have seen the video of the armed coppers running back to the Parliament gates from the car crash site round the corner...

You may be right but, to mow people down on the road leading to your "target" is somewhat drawing attention to yourself, isn't it. A distraction would have been to target somewhere completely different and then while there was a commotion in that place, go off and do what you intended in the first place ie, not draw attention to yourself, until you had done what you wanted.
As Mr Ardvark said, personally, i'm incapable of thinking it through so, my opinion is utterly invalid.

Your seeming to suggest that we are like the yanks in that we vote for an individual. The Cons have the majority and form the Government. We didn't vote Cameron in nor May.
A system where the SNP get stacks less votes than UKIP but have many seats and are now trying to split the union.
When you say minority what is it you actually mean?
Could anyone tell me how many innocent people have been murdered in the Middle East the past fortnight by the uk? I've heard between 50 and 400? What about Yemen? Another couple of thousand? Before the EDF and daily mail supporters on here pipe up, i.e. Dally.Who do you think supplies the Saudis with their bombs and bullets? How does Therasa May keep a straight face in parliament when she denounces terroism and then goes and kills a load of innocent Iraqis?

We've been murdering innocents for centuries, claiming foreign lands, usually in the name of "Christianity", we sell arms to anyone who'll buy them, it's time we just went the Swiss way, look after ourselves and let everyone else fight between themselves
