First Funeral For Norway Massacre Victims

Hundreds of mourners have attended the first funeral for victims of last Friday's massacre in Norway.

Bano Abodakar Rashid, 18, was one of the 68 gunned down on the island of Utoya.

She had lived in Norway since 1996 after fleeing Kurdistan in Northern Iraq with her family.

Police have revised the total number of dead in the two incidents, up by one, to 77.

Norwegian prosecutors have announced that they have appointed two psychiatrists to assess the mental health of the gunman, Anders Breivik.

Police have also spent the day questioning Brievik. He was transported from Ila prison, a former Nazi concentration camp, to Oslo in an armoured car.

Earlier, Oslo district police's attorney Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby said Breivik would be questioned on "information received over the last few days - which is a lot".

The experts will determine if he is criminally responsible and deliver their report by November 1, according to Mr Kraby, speaking while the 32-year-old was being questioned.

The prosecutor indicated that the latest interrogation focused on reviewing the detailed transcript of his previous interview last Saturday.

"We will go through his last interview, which was very long, it was more than 50 pages, so probably no new questions - that will be for the next interview," which he said would be held "sometime next week.

"He has to go through it and say if he agrees and there will be no confrontation," Mr Kraby added.

He revealed that Breivik's demeanour during the first hours of his second interrogation was broadly similar to that encountered on Saturday.

Meanwhile Breivik's lawyer, Geir Lippestad, was quoted in a Norwegian newspaper saying his client was planning to hit other targets.

"There were several projects of different scale for that Friday," Aftenposten quoted him as saying.

"Things happened that day, which I don't want to go into (here), which meant events unfolded differently from what he had planned."



Asked about these claims during a press conference, John Frederiksen, one of the leading investigators, said the police "have not found anything to back" the claims made in Breivik's manifesto.

He said: "What we can say on an operational level is that with the information obtained in the initial phase of our enquiries and from the elements published (by Breivik), we have inspected a dozen sites to see if there was any kind of threat.

"We have not found anything to back that up."

As the investigation becomes more complex and tougher to untangle, top legal officials have warned Breivik may not be brought to justice until next year.

Pointing to the mounting evidence, the Norwegian king's prosecutor general, Tor Aksel Buschhe, said: "We hope that we can conduct the court trial in the course of next year."

He added that Breivik's indictment "will not be ready before the end of the year" - despite the fact that he has confessed to both the bombing and the shooting.

Norwegian police said on Friday they have identified all bodies recovered after the attacks.

In addition, there was a memorial service in Oslo held by the youth movement of the Norwegian Labour party, which was the target of the shootings on Utoya island.

Norway's prime minister Jens Stoltenberg led the ceremony, and was joined by most of his government and bereaved relatives, while the national flag will fly at half-mast all day.

The 52-year-old said: "Today it is one week since Norway was hit by evil. There are so many heroes since last Friday. We would like to say thank you to all of them.

"The bullets hit our young, but they also struck an entire nation. Many of the victims are very sick in hospital still. Many of them are carrying invisible sores and are bleeding inside. They are not alone.

"Our movement will be the shoulder you are allowed to cry on. We still find it difficult to understand. We have to live with July 22 forever, but together we will make it. We will not be broken.

"We shall remember the dead heroes for ever. We are a movement for solidarity. We are going to sing for dead heroes. Most importantly we should stick to our ideals."
