On this date, 22 July 2011, the 2011
Norway attacks were two sequential lone wolf terrorist attacks against the
government, the civilian population and a Workers' Youth League (AUF)-run
summer camp in Norway on 22 July 2011, claiming a total of 77 lives.
We, the VFFDP, offer our condolences
to the victims and their families in Norway. But sadly, the perpetrator, Anders Behring Breivik, will only get 20 years imprisonment and no more
than that. Norway made a mistake of being too soft on crime.

The 2011 Norway attacks were
two sequential lone wolf terrorist attacks against the government, the civilian
population and a Workers' Youth League (AUF)-run summer camp in Norway on 22
July 2011, claiming a total of 77 lives.
The first was a car bomb explosion in
Oslo within Regjeringskvartalet, the executive government quarter of Norway, at
15:25:22 (CEST). The bomb was made from a mixture of fertiliser and fuel oil
and placed in the back of a car. The car was placed in front of the office
block housing the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other
government buildings. The explosion killed eight people and injured at least
209 people, twelve of them seriously.
The second attack occurred less than
two hours later at a summer camp on the island of Utøya in Tyrifjorden,
Buskerud. The camp was organized by the AUF, the youth division of the ruling
Norwegian Labour Party (AP). A gunman dressed in a homemade police uniform and
showing false identification gained access to the island and subsequently
opened fire at the participants, killing 69 of them, and injuring at least 110,
55 of them seriously; the 69th victim died in a hospital two days after the
massacre. Among the dead were personal friends of Prime Minister Jens
Stoltenberg and the stepbrother of Norway's crown princess Mette-Marit.
It was the deadliest attack in Norway
since World War II, and a survey found that on average, 1 in 4 Norwegians knew
"someone affected by the attacks". The European Union, NATO and
several countries around the world expressed their support for Norway and
condemned the attacks. On 13 August 2012 Norway's prime minister received the
Gjørv Report which concluded that Norway's police could have prevented the
bombing of central Oslo, caught mass killer Anders Behring Breivik faster at
Utøya and that more security and emergency measures to prevent further attacks
and "mitigate adverse effects" should have been implemented on 22
July.
The Norwegian Police arrested Anders
Behring Breivik, a then 32-year-old Norwegian right-wing extremist, on Utøya
island and charged him with both attacks. The trial against him took place
between 16 April and 22 June 2012 in Oslo District Court, and as at all his
remand hearings Breivik admitted to having carried out the actions he was
accused of, but denied criminal guilt and claimed the defence of necessity (jus
necessitatis). On 24 August 2012 Breivik was convicted as charged and
sentenced to 21 years of preventive detention in prison, which at the end can
be repeatedly extended for 5 years as long as he is considered a threat to
society.
