norwaySeveral buildings in Oslo were on fire, she said, and smoke was pouring from them. Walter Gibbs, a journalist with Reuters, said he saw eight injured people, including two or three with serious wounds and one who looked dead. Gibbs said he believes one explosion happened on an upper floor of a main government building. He said it blew out every window on the side of the building. The blast also severely damaged the Oil Ministry and left it in flames, he said. Reuters reported that Stoltenberg was safe. Stoltenberg, who has been prime minister since October 2005, heads a coalition government made up of the Labour Party, the Socialist Left Party and the Centre Party. A representative for Oslo University Hospital confirmed that seven patients were being treated there after the explosion. "I am not aware whether they are major or minor injuries. We have spoken to the other hospitals in Oslo, and in total, we are sending 22 ambulances and five helicopters. We currently have no confirmation of any deaths."
