The Norway attacks
July 22, 2011, will live long in the memory of all Norwegians after the carnage that unfolded that day.
After detonating a bomb outside the prime minister's office in Oslo, killing eight people, Breivik took a ferry to Utoya Island and embarked on a shooting spree that took the lives of another 69 people attending a youth camp.
Authorities said Breivik roamed the lake island shooting at campers, before members of an elite Norwegian police unit took him into custody.
In August 2012 Breivik, who boasted of being an ultranationalist who killed his victims to fight multiculturalism in Norway, was judged to be sane at the time of the attack.
He was convicted of voluntary homicide and committing acts of terror and sentenced to 21 years in prison.
