A person suspected of carrying out terrorist attacks in Norway which killed over 90 people will be charged for terrorist activity, while the maximum prison sentence in Norway is 21 years, the country's police told reporters on Saturday.

Police confirmed that arrested 32-year-old Norwegian, Anders Behring Breivik, was involved both in the explosion in Oslo, and in a shooting at a youth summer camp on Utoya Island.

Police does not link the tragedy to any international terrorist organizations but said the suspect was connected with right-wing extremism.

Norway's national TV channel NRK said the police believed there were at least two gunmen disguised policemen who attacked the camp.

"Young people with whom NRC reporters talked on Friday, night said there were two criminals, rather than one, as expected."

Police is currently trying to find out whether Breivik had an accomplice, or he worked alone.
