Norwegians remember victims of rampage
- 12 years ago
Norwegians gather at an Oslo cathedral to remember the 77 victims of a shocking rampage that took place one year ago Sunday.
The country's king and prime minister took part in the ceremony - billed as an important part of the country's healing process.
(SOUNDBITE) (Norwegian) LEADER OF THE LABOUR PARTY YOUTH WING AUF ESKIL PEDERSEN, SAYING:
"Today we will miss and remember and tomorrow a new day begins. We will in the future - not without pain and sorrow - make it together.
It was one of a series of events marking the first anniverary of a bombing and shooting rampage by Anders Behring Brevik - now on trial for the killings.
He has admitted to setting off a bomb in central Oslo before heading to a summer camp where he methodically killed 69 people - most of them teenagers.
A court is expected to hand down his sentence next month.
