TWIN TERROR ATTACKS IN NORWAY

The people of Norway are trying to cope with the aftermath of the horrifying terror attacks, and are still making sense of what happened in their once peaceful community.

Norwegians gather together at the Lutheran Cathedral to grief for those who lost their lives in the terror attacks this past Friday, and to express their hope for those who are still missing.

The King and the Queen of Norway also joined the mourners, along with Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The death toll is now at 93, while the number may go up with the authorities still searching for bodies around Utoya island.

The Norwegian man, Anders Behring Breivik is accused of for killing at least 93 individuals, and injuring 96 people for the twin terror attacks in Norway.

The 32 year-old suspect, described himself as a Christian and a conservative on his Facebook profile, has since admitted that he acted alone with no accomplice on the two terror attacks in Norway. Breivik is now in custody for allegedly carrying out the bombing attack in downtown Oslo, where seven people were killed in the blast. Shortly after, on the same day, a gunman dressed as a policeman, went on a mass shooting on the Utoya island, taking the lives of 86 young individuals who were there for the youth camp run by the ruling Labour Party. Survivors described the terrifying scenes with people fleeing from the gunman, while some jumped into the water in an attempt to escape. But few were able to dodge the bullet with the gunman shooting into the water at those who tried to swim away. The shooting spree lasted for one-and-a-half hours, and surprisingly the man surrendered to police without putting up a fight.

The authorities have since charged Breivik for the two violent acts, while Breivik has described it as gruesome but necessary. From his Internet postings, it is believed that Breivik held radical right-wing views. He was also a member of the Swedish neo-Nazi internet forum, although it remains unclear whether that was the main motivation of the massacre. Police are currently looking into the 1,500-page manifesto written by Breivik, and are still seeking for possible accomplices.
