Caerphilly AM Condemns Norway Atrocities

Caerphilly’s Labour AM Jeff Cuthbert has condemned the atrocities in Norway over the weekend, saying that extremism in any shape or form is both dangerous and wrong.

Sixty-eight people were killed by Anders Behring Breivik in shooting rampage on a picturesque island off the Norwegian coast.

This followed a car bomb in Oslo city centre which killed eight.

The island was hosting a summer camp for young members of Norway’s ruling Arbeiderpartiet, or Labour Party.

Jeff Cuthbert AM said: “Our deepest condolences go out to the families of those whose lives were cruelly ended in the attacks in Norway over the weekend.

“This dreadful atrocity serves as a reminder that extremism in any forms – be it far-right, far-left or anything outside or in-between – is unacceptable and can have dangerous consequences.

“I urge people to sign the book of condolences that has been opened at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay, if they are able to do so. We remember the innocent victims at this terrible time.”

First Minister Carwyn Jones has sent a letter of condolence on behalf of the people of Wales.
