Norway ceremonially reopens buildings damaged in 2011 Breivik attacks

Norway has ceremonially reopened government buildings that were damaged during Anders Behring Breivik's terrorist attacks in 2011. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre declared that "democracy was not defeated" during the reopening ceremony. The buildings were severely damaged when Breivik detonated a bomb in Oslo's government quarter before proceeding to carry out a mass shooting at a youth camp on Utøya island, killing a total of 77 people in what became Norway's worst peacetime atrocity. Breivik was sentenced in 2012 to 21 years in prison with the possibility of repeated extensions, which was the harshest sentence available under Norwegian law at the time.
