22 July: The Day Norway Was Shattered by Terror

On July 22, 2011, Norway was plunged into chaos and despair as a series of coordinated terrorist attacks struck the country. A lone assailant, Anders Behring Breivik, carried out the deadliest act of terrorism in Norway's history, leaving 77 people dead and over 200 injured. The attacks were a shock to the nation, who were forced to confront the reality of homegrown terrorism.

The first explosion occurred at 15:25 Central European Summer Time (CEST) outside the government building in downtown Oslo, the capital city. The blast was so powerful it shattered windows and damaged buildings across the city. Minutes later, at 17:27, Breivik detonated a second explosive device at the youth camp on the island of Utøya, in the midst of a Labor Party summer camp for young people. The youth camp was the intended target, where many young politicians and activists were gathered.

The attack on Utøya was particularly barbaric, with Breivik methodically shooting and killing scores of young people. Many were executed in cold blood, with some reports suggesting that Breivik walked through the crowds, singled out his victims, and shot them in the face or in the head. The detailed photos and videos of the aftermath revealed a tragedy of unimaginable proportions.

The Norwegian authorities were initially believed to have been helpless in stopping the attacks. However, it was later revealed that Breivik had not acted alone. Several months before the attacks, Breivik had presented a 1,500-page manifesto outlining his views on multiculturalism, Islam, and the role of Christianity in Norwegian society. The document contained detailed technical information about the bombs used in the attacks.

At 15:25 CEST, the first bomb exploded outside the government building in downtown Oslo. The explosion was so powerful that it sent glass flying and damaged nearby buildings. The blast was attributed to a fertilizer-based explosive device, which killed eight people and injured many more.

The Unrelieved Terror on Utøya

Just over two hours later, the second bomb exploded at the youth camp on the island of Utøya. The true extent of the terror sent to the island would not be immediately apparent. Several sources, including eyewitnesses, revealed that Breivik entered the camp dressed as a police officer and began firing indiscriminately at the youths. By the time he was encountered by the authorities, he had killed 69 people and wounded two dozen more.

"I couldn't see anyone dead, only wounded," Mina Sี, who was at the camp, said in an interview with the New York Times.

The machine gun which—one even works—has taken considerable energy and resources to produce.
