Norwegian police have admitted for the first time that they could have responded faster to a massacre at a youth camp last July. Anders Behring Breivik opened fire on young activists gathered on Utoeya island last summer, killing 69 people. The police, distracted by a bomb Breivik had set off in Oslo and hampered by technical failures, arrived an hour after his killing spree began. State Police Director Oystein Maeland apologised on behalf of the police. 

"Every minute was one minute too long," he said. "It is a burden to know that lives could have been saved if the gunman had been arrested earlier."

FINALLY.
