A woman reacts in anguish at the closing of a memorial service at Oslo Cathedral in Norway in the aftermath of Fridays gun and bomb attacks
NORTHERN Ireland shared Norways pain yesterday as it tried to come to terms with the bomb attack and massacre of nearly 100 people. Party leaders in the province
expressed their shock and sympathy as the death toll rose to 93 after seven people were killed in a car bomb blast in the heart of Oslo and 86 innocents were gunned down at a youth camp on Utoya Island. First minister Peter Robinson said we know all too well the effect of senseless violence,
adding: It would seem that these attacks have been the work of a twisted and depraved individual who has brought heartbreak and grief to scores of homes. A number of books of condolence will be opened in the province. Anders Breivik confessed to carrying out the attacks and said
he acted alone, but he refused to admit criminal guilt. The chief surgeon at a hospital treating victims of the camp atrocity said the gunman used special bullets designed to cause maximum internal damage that exploded inside the body.
