OSLO, Norway - Norway's national broadcaster NRK has named the suspect in the Oslo bombing and youth camp shooting spree as Anders Behring Breivik.
NRK and other Norwegian media also posted pictures of the blond and blue-eyed Norwegian. NRK says police searched the 32-year-old's apartment in Oslo overnight.
Police have confirmed 17 deaths in the attacks but expect the death toll to rise at the youth camp where the gunman opened fire after setting off a bomb in Oslo.
