Norwegian probe to review police response to attacks

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.
