Islamic extremist claims responsibility for Oslo bombing, group retracts / News / The Foreigner

Islamic extremist claims responsibility for Oslo bombing, group retracts. UPDATED: Abu Suleiman al-Nasser, an Islamist with links to Al-Qaeda and other Islamic extremist groups, claimed responsibility for yesterday's bomb in Oslo, but this now appears to be false. Helpers of the Global Jihad have since issued a retraction of their earlier statement claiming that they caused the bombing in central Oslo. An Islamic extremist alleging to be Abu Suleiman Al-Nasser originally claimed responsibility for the attacks. However, Iraqi security forces claimed to have shot dead a man named Al-Nasser Lideen Allah Abu Suleiman, who had well-documented links to Al-Qaeda, in February this year. It is not unheard of for Al-Qaeda extremists to claim responsibility for acts of terrorism which are not their own.
