OSLO, (Reuters) – Norway appointed a nine-person commission yesterday to investigate the attacks that killed 77 people last month, including the police response that has been criticised as slow.
“The July 22 commission’s mandate is to lay out all relevant facts about what happened, unvarnished and honest,” said Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Since the July 22 bombing and shootings, critics have called into question the speed and competence of the emergency response.
“To move forward as a nation we must be sure we know everything about the events of July 22,” said Stoltenberg, who gave the commission a year to submit a final report to him.
