Norway mourns, buries dead, a week after massacre


OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegians united in mourning on Friday as the first funerals were held a week after anti-Islam zealot Anders Behring Breivik massacred at least 76 people in attacks that traumatised the nation.

Holding red roses aloft, members of the ruling Labour Party held a sombre memorial in a hall in central Oslo with calls for more democracy, unity and openness in revulsion at the worst attacks in the Nordic nation's peacetime history.
