My sympathies to you and your countrymen.

My condolences to those who lost friends and loved ones. I was stunned to see the news.

I hope (and I'm pretty sure) there will be some sort of recognition/memorial at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree, 27 July to 7 August, in Rinkaby, Sweden. I hope the campers were not among those that were planning on going.

This is such a terrible, almost unthinkable crime. My heart goes out to the people of Norway.

Myself, my friends and my colleagues are all profoundly shocked by the goings on in Oslo. A real and terrible tragedy.

So sad. My thoughts are with the families and friends of the deceased.

Thank you all!
As you said, Singlemalt, we do tend to consider ourselves quite safe up here in the north of Europe and up until Friday things like this did only happen elsewhere.. We are also a country with very few inhabitants (closing in on 5,000,000 in total now...), so something like this truly hits home quite forcefully. I'm just so very thankful that all those close to me are safe and that the spirit of companionship is growing ever stronger throughout Norway as we speak. As our PM is quoted in Oslo based newspaper VG to the attacker(s); "You will not destroy us. You will not destroy our democracy or our ideals for a better world."
Again - thank you!
