  1. I express my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the attack. I also pray for the earliest possible recovery of those injured.
  2. Such violence which sacrifices the innocent is absolutely unforgivable, regardless of the reason.
  3. I wish to express solidarity with you, the Government of Kingdom of Norway, and the Norwegian people.
