The leader of the youth wing of Norway's Labour party Eskil Perdersen says the massacre on the island of Utoeya, where at least 84 of its members were gunned down, will not silence the movement and they will return to the island.

The massacre took place yesterday when a man dressed in a police uniform opened fire on the 600 members attending the camp.

Meanwhile, President Jacob Zuma has sent condolences to Norway and condemned terrorism in the strongest terms.

The Congress of SA Trade Unions also sent their condolences, adding that there could never be any conceivable justification for the murder of innocent people.

The Department of International Relations and Co-Operation says no South Africans were among those killed.
