Norwegian Massacre

July 27, 2011

On July 27, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik carried out a series of terrorist attacks in Norway. He first detonated a bomb in Oslo that killed eight people, before opening fire on a youth camp on the island of Utya, where 69 more people were killed. Breiviks motivations were tied to far-right extremism, and he sought to promote anti-immigrant and anti-Islamic views. The attacks shocked Norway and the world, leading to an outpouring of grief and a national debate on terrorism and extremism. The tragedy remains one of the deadliest acts of violence in Norwegian history.
