Norway massacre: Police criticised for slow response

When Anders Behring Breivik launched his assault on the youth campers of Utoya Island, he expected Norway’s special forces to swoop down and stop him at any minute.

Instead, Delta Force police officers made the 25-mile journey by car – they have no helicopter – then had to be rescued by a civilian craft when their boat broke down as it tried to navigate a one-minute hop to the island.
