OSLO--Norwegian authorities failed to protect the victims of Anders Behring Breivik's shooting rampage and could have prevented his bomb attack on government quarters, a government-commissioned report said Monday. The report, initiated to examine the authorities' response to Mr. Breivik's twin terror attacks on July 22 last year, said police were too slow to respond to the shooting spree on Utoya island, adding that Mr. Breivik could have been arrested sooner had the police response been more effective.
"The attack on the government complex could have been prevented through effective implementation of already adopted security measures," Ms. Alexandra Bech Gjorv, the July 22 commission leader, told a press conference.
The commission also concluded that the Norwegian Security Service, or PST, could have picked up on the trail of Mr. Breivik prior to the attack, although it stopped short of venturing as to whether the PST could have averted the attacks.
The commission set out to examine Norway's ability to uncover, prevent and respond to terrorist attacks as well as propose measures to improve the country's preparedness to handle large scale attacks. The report was widely anticipated to raise questions about the ability of authorities and society as a whole to protect themselves against and minimize the consequences of future attacks.
On July 22 last year, Anders Behring Breivik, now 33, set off a car-bomb next to the government block in Oslo, killing eight people, before heading to a youth camp at the nearby island of Utoya, where he went on a shooting spree for more than an hour, killing 69 people, before being arrested.
Ms. Gjorv described the attacks as "the most incomprehensible brutality."
