Norway will hold a national ceremony of remembrance at the Oslo Spektrum on August 21st to remember the 77 people who died in the Oslo bombing and the Utøya island shooting on July 22nd.
Anders Behring Breivik, 32, who confessed to the bombing and the cold-blooded shootings on a nearby island, was charged by police with terrorism which carries a sentence of up to 21 years. The duration of the sentence could be extended.
Breivik, a right-wing extremist, said he wanted to change Norway’s multicultural policies, blaming the Labour Party for encouraging Muslim immigration.
