The first funerals for victims of the terror attacks in Norway last week have taken place as Oslo detectives prepare to interview a member of the English Defence League about his links to the perpetrator.
On Friday night police said that the death toll had risen to 77 from 76 as they released the full list of the dead. Eight of the victims were killed by the bomb attack by Anders Behring Breivik in Oslo's government district and 69 died after he shot them at a political youth camp on the island of Utøya. No explanation was given for the increase.
At a memorial service in the assembly hall of the People's House, a community centre for Norway's labour movement, the prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, reiterated his message for the attacks to lead to unity rather than fear.
After the ceremony he said: "I think 22 July will be a very strong symbol of the Norwegian people's wish to be united in our fight against violence, and will be a symbol of how the nation can answer with love."
Among the dead was Bano Rashid, an 18-year-old Kurdish Muslim immigrant from Iraq, who on Friday was the first victim to be laid to rest since the atrocities on 22 July. As her friends sobbed at her funeral in the Nesodden church outside the capital, Breivik was questioned for the second time by detectives following his admission that he had carried out the attacks but was not guilty of terrorism charges because he is in a "state of war".
The funeral of another victim, Ismail Haji Ahmed, 19, took place in the town of Hamar.
At least one Briton will be questioned in relation to the attacks, a Norwegian police lawyer said on Friday. Pal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby revealed that officers would be contacting Paul Ray, an activist with the English Defence League who blogs under the name Lionheart.
In an interview with a Norwegian newspaper, Ray allegedly admitted his opinions could have influenced Breivik's Islamophobic diatribe, which the killer published online hours before he massacred 76 people. Speaking from Malta, where he has fled fearing arrest for inciting racial hatred, Ray told Dagbladet that he had been in direct contact with the 32-year-old gunman online.
Detectives are also investigating claims made in the Russian media that Breivik had been given training in "military sabotage operations" in Minsk, Belarus, by a former KGB agent, Kraby confirmed.
Nonetheless, investigators continue to believe Breivik acted alone, after years of meticulous planning, and have not found anything to support his claims that he is part of an anti-Muslim militant network plotting a series of coups across Europe.
Kraby also told reporters that Breivik has so far refused to be photographed by police or speak to a forensic psychiatrist.
Since the massacre, questions have persisted about whether authorities had underestimated extremist dangers in Norway. The country's security service is working on a fresh evaluation of the threat posed by extremists, but many Norwegians fear they will lose their trusting society if new measures are introduced.
Øystein Mæland, the chief of police who is in charge of the Oslo investigation, told a press conference on Friday: "We do not want barbed wire, roadblocks and weapons as part of everyday life in Norway."

Các anh chị có suy nghĩ, ý kiến gì qua bài viết "Anders Behring Breivik attacks: first funerals take place in Norway" ?
Các anh chị có nghĩ rằng tên khủng bố sát nhân đã "biết" và "biết rất rõ" Na Uy là một quốc gia tự do, có giết người thì cũng chỉ ở tù tối đa có 21 năm !
Một kẻ đã cố ý tàn sát gần trăm mạng người, vẫn còn có cái quyền "từ chối" cảnh sát chụp hình : "Kraby also told reporters that Breivik has so far refused to be photographed by police ... ".
Thiển nghĩ giới có thẩm quyền của Na Uy nên đưa hình tên khủng bố lên cho cả thế giới biết "bộ mặt người" của hắn sau khi giết gần 100 mạng người trông có giống ác quỷ ?
