- On 22 July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik bombed government buildings in Oslo, resulting in eight deaths. He then arrived at Utøya island, the site of a camp for Worker's Youth League, posing as a police officer killing 69 people.
- Norway is a small country. It is also relatively homogeneous and egalitarian. This means that the distance from top to bottom is short, and that great disasters affect the entire populace. It was out of this world that the thirty-two-year-old Anders Behring Breivik stepped when, on the afternoon of July 22, 2011, he set out from his mother's flat in Oslo's West End, changed into a police uniform, parked a van containing a bomb, which he had spent the spring and summer making, outside the governments buildings, lit the fuse, and left the scene. While the catastrophic images of the attack, which killed eight people, were being broadcast across the world, Breivik headed to Utøya. That was where the Workers' Youth League had its annual summer camp. There Breivik shot and killed sixty-nine people, in a massacre that lasted for more than an hour, right until the police arrived, when he immediately surrendered.—Ulf Kjell Gür
