Norway Attacks

From Deutsche Welle:
"Tributes paid at Oslo memorial service for terror victims"

Norway's prime minister and royal family led mourners at Oslo Cathedral on Sunday in a service for the 93 victims of Friday's shooting spree and bomb attack. Leading the tributes, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told the congregation that the country was "struggling to understand the scale" of the disaster. He said the names and photographs of those who died would soon be released and "the scale of the evil will then emerge." Members of the victims' family and several of the young survivors were among those in the Oslo congregation. The memorial service was attended by politicians, survivors and victims' family

^ It seems to me that the Norwegian Police should be found negligent in their response since it took them over an hour (from when they got the first call) to arrive at the island because they had no transportation - boat or helicopter. You would think that in a country like Norway where there are lots of islands and fjords, etc the police would have a means to get to an island without needing to wait for something bad to happen and then try to get the transportation needed. Who knows how many young people could have been saved had the police arrived in a timely fashion. ^
