Twin shooting and bomb attacks left at least 98 dead as a Norwegian gunman disguised as a policeman opened fire at a youth camp and a bomb blast tore through government buildings in downtown Oslo.

A bombing and shooting that left at least 91 dead on Friday is "a national tragedy" and the worst act of violence in Norway since World War II, Prime Minister Jen Stoltenberg said Saturday.

The bombing of government buildings in Oslo on Friday, and a subsequent shooting spree at a political youth camp, have so far claimed 91 lives, police said.

Stoltenberg said he had been due to address the youth camp at the Utoya island, organized by the youth league of his Labor Party later Saturday. "For me, Utoya was the paradise of my youth, now it has become hell," Stoltenberg said.

Both he and Justice Minister Knut Storberget, who also attended the news conference, said it was too early to comment on the possible motive of the acts or if they were conducted by only person.

On Friday, a gunman dressed in police uniform opened fire at a youth camp of Norway's ruling political party, killing at least 84 people, hours after a bomb killed seven in the government district in the capital Oslo.

Witnesses said the gunman, identified by police as a 32-year-old Norwegian, moved across the small, wooded Utoya holiday island firing at random as young people scattered in fear. Norwegian television TV2 said the gunman detained by police was described as tall and blond and had links to right-wing extremism.

Suspect: The 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik, who has been arrested after the attacks

Police seized the gunman, named by local media as Anders Behring Breivik, and later found undetonated explosives on the island, a pine-clad strip of land about 500 meters long, to the northwest of Oslo.

Breivik's Facebook page appeared to have been blocked by late evening. Earlier it had listed interests including bodybuilding, conservative politics and freemasonry.

Norwegian media said he had set up a Twitter account a few days ago and posted a single message on July 17 saying: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests."

About 10 police officers were outside the address registered to his name in a four-story red brick building in west Oslo.

The Norwegian daily Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying he became a right-wing extremist in his late 20s. It said he expressed strong nationalistic views in online debates and had been a strong opponent of the idea that people of different cultural backgrounds can live alongside each other.

The U.N. Security Council has "condemned in the strongest terms" the deadly twin terrorist attacks in Norway and offered condolences to the victims of what it called "these heinous acts."

The council members issued a presidential statement Saturday ln which they reaffirmed that terrorism "constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security."

The council's statement says that "any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed."

A massive bombing Friday in downtown Oslo was followed by a shooting rampage on an island hosting a youth retreat for the prime minister's center-left party. The same man, a Norwegian with reported Christian fundamentalist, anti-Muslim views, is suspected in both attacks.

The attacks on Friday afternoon were western Europe's deadliest since the 2004 Madrid bombings.

While there had been initial fears they might have been an act of revenge over Norway's participation in the campaigns in Afghanistan and Libya, the focus shifted when it emerged the suspect was a native Norwegian.

Speaking alongside the prime minister, Justice Minister Knut Storberget said there was no reason to raise the threat level.

Police lifted an advisory that had urged residents to stay home while a spokesman for the Oslo municipality said there was ``no reason to ask people not to go into the city or not to go about their normal business''.

Witnesses to the Norway shooting said the gunman , wearing a police uniform , went on a prolonged shooting orgy on Utoya, picking off his prey unchallenged as youngsters scattered in panic or jumped in the lake to swim for the mainland.

A police SWAT team eventually arrived from Oslo to seize Breivik after nearly 90 minutes of firing, acting police chief Sveinung Sponheim said. "We don't know yet" if he acted alone, Sponheim said, adding that Breivik had surrendered immediately and had confessed.

Sponheim said 85 people were known to have died in the shooting and seven in the Oslo bomb blast. The overall death toll could reach 98 if some missing people proved to have died. Police gave no figure for the number wounded.

Stoltenberg, sharing the shocked mood in this normally safe, quiet country of 4.8 million, said: "A paradise island has been transformed into a hell." Labour Party youth member Erik Kursetgjerde described the panic on Utoya when the gunman began shooting. "I heard screams. I heard people begging for their lives and I heard shots. He just blew them away. I was certain I was going to die," Kursetgjerde , 18, said, outside a hotel in the nearby town of Sundvollen, where many survivors were taken.

"People ran everywhere. They panicked and climbed into trees. People got trampled ." The killer, dressed as a policeman, "would tell people to come over: 'It's OK, you're safe, we're coming to help you.' And then I saw about 20 people come towards him and he shot them at close range," he said. Kursetgjerde said he ran and hid between cliffs, then swam into the lake and nearly drowned. "Someone (in a boat) rescued me."
