The death toll from yesterday's terror attacks in Norway stands at 92 and could climb higher as people missing from the attacks are found.

A 32-year-old Christian fundamentalist with anti-Muslim tendencies has been arrested in connection with the attacks was also believed to have purchased six tons of fertilizer prior to the massacre. The bombing in an Oslo high-rise that housed the offices of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, killed seven. Two hours after the bombing, the suspect opened fire on scores of youth gathered at an island retreat. Many of the young people at the retreat played dead in the water to avoid being killed.

Stoltenberg and Norway's royal family are leading the nation in mourning, visiting the families of victims of the attacks.
