Scores killed in Norway attacks - BBC For a Scandinavia fanatic like myself, this is awful and shocking news. I suppose a lot of people know about the horrific scenes that happened in Norway! The bombing in their capital killed 90 people, while on the Island of Utøya, there was a shooting that took place which cost the lives of many. For a peaceful and loving country like Norway, this has shocked me to no end! Norwegians as well as Swedes are such wonderful people, and for this to happen to them is horrible. Until now, they have suprisingly never had a terrorist attack planned on their country since the second world war when Adolf Hitler occupied them during his invasion in 1939 for their oil supply. My heart goes out to every Norwegian who has been affected by this tragedy, and I hope that their capital as well as the rest of the country will recover quickly. God bless Scandinavians!
