WI : Norvegien Prime Minister killed the 22 July 2011

For some reasons, or the bomb was placed elsewhere or the PM had to move.

What would have happened if Anders Behring Breivik have managed to kill the Prime Minster of Norway?

Would have the terrorist could be arrested and the slaughter in the Labor summer camp be avoided?

What would have been the consequances for the far-right parties in Norway, and in Europe?

(I must admit that this question came pretty soon in mind, but i thought that posting it the same week would have been sort of macabre bad taste. Gosh, AH.com is really twisting me in the wrong way.)

I doubt it. The shock from a bombing in Oslo that also killed the prime minister would probably not make the authorities there connect the dots any quicker or find Breivik in time to stop the shooting at the Labor summer camp.

Well, it Anders managed to kill Stoltenberg then i belive that the police in Oslo would be in even more chaos and more resources diverted to search cars going from Oslo and Anders might have gotten to Utöja anyway and there have more time to go around shooting at the kids before the police could get their priorities in order and react.

If Breivik is captured alive as OTL then the reaction will be about the same. But without Jens Stoltenberg standing as a landfather and asking everyone to calm down then things will differ. I dont know who will replace him because my knowledge of norwegian PMs are him and Gro. Maybe the king of Norway takes the same role as Stoltenberg.

The impact on Norway will be a bigger flock to Stoltenbergs party that already got a massive rise in the opinion.

Had it not been for the accident on E18 earlier that day the bomb might have gone off earlier AND Breivik had gotten to Utöja while Gro was there and shot her to. A former PM, current PM and maybe future PMs killed within an hour would be even more shocking for NOrway.
 
A bit of a late reply, but his intention was not to kill Stoltenberg, who was only scheduled to arrive the next day. What he is said to have wanted was to kill former PM Gro Harlem Brundtland. A formidable figure in 1980s and early 90s politics, somewhat symbolically - if not politically - comparable to Thatcher in the UK. The plan was to decapitate her with a machete, film it and upload to Youtube. Which would definately have had quite an effect.
