Norway honours 77 killed in twin atrocities

NORWAY honoured the memory of 77 people killed in the nation’s worst peacetime massacre yesterday, with the prime minister calling on the nation to unite around its core values of democracy and peace.

An 18-year-old Muslim girl was the first victim to be laid to rest. After a funeral service in a church, Bano Abobakar Rashid, a Kurdish immigrant from Iraq, was buried in a Muslim rite in Oslo.

Police said all those killed in the terror attacks have been identified and that those who had been reported missing have been accounted for.
