The two cars would force him to park the other way round. To maximise the pressure wave in one direction he had packed the 950kg bomb so there were several hundred kilos more explosive on one side. When he turned up towards the reception area, he saw that there were a couple of cars blocking the ideal place to park. There were no barriers to prevent the van from driving right up to the 17-storey building that housed the Ministry of Justice and the prime minister’s office. He closed the back door, went round the side of the vehicle and climbed into the driver’s seat. Skøyen seemed deserted on that chilly grey Friday in July most people round here were away at their summer cottages or holiday homes. If anyone saw him getting out of the back of the van in full police uniform, they might start to wonder. Lastly, he put on the heavy black boots with spurs at the heels.īefore opening the van door to get out, he looked round carefully. He pulled on the black trousers with the reflective strips and fastened the pistol holster to his thigh. ![]() He pulled the black compression top over his head and fixed the plastic police insignia on to the sleeves, then strapped on the bulletproof vest. Inside were the strong plastic bags from China in which he had packed the explosives. He unlocked the VW Crafter van and climbed into the back. ![]()
