  • 9 years ago
Teens unpacked rucksacks and set up tents under the summer sun on the peaceful Utoya island in Norway on Thursday afternoon, gearing up for a weekend of political discussions.Four years ago, tragedy struck the same tranquil island just 25 miles from Norway's capital on similarly beautiful summer afternoon. Right-wing extremist Anders Breivik gunned down 69 people there, many of them teens attending the Labor Party youth camp, on July 22, 2011. Hours earlier, Breivik had set off a bomb at government buildings in the center of Oslo that left eight others dead.This week is the first time the youth camp has returned to the island since the attack.
