Norway Observes 10-year Anniversary of Extremist Attack

Norway Thursday marked 10 years since a right-wing extremist killed 77 people in attacks in Oslo and a small island outside the city.

Prime Minister Erna Solberg said at a memorial service in Oslo that what happened that day “was an attack on our democracy.” “It hurts to think back to that dark day in July 10 years ago,” Solberg said. “Today, we mourn together. Today, we remember the 77 that never came home.”  Survivors of the attack and family members of the victims were among those in attendance, along with Norway’s crown prince and crown princess.
