OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police freed several people who were briefly detained Sunday after a raid prompted by attacks that have killed 93 people, a police lawyer told Reuters.

"The people detained and brought in for questioning have been released. They were in no way linked to the case," Anders Frydenberg said. Police are trying to see if the main suspect acted alone.

Frydenberg said that no explosives were found in the raid on buildings in north east Oslo.

The voice of Racism at Oslo was loud and clear. But that voice will be quieted as the killer spends years in his prison cell. The only sound will be the sound of his voice asking the guard to open the gate, so he can spend some time in the prison yard. He would gladly accept Multiculturalism if given a few less years of prison time.
