Jerusalem Post Apologises To Norway For Comments On Breivik Attacks

In an unusual move for a newspaper, the Jerusalem Post has published a full-length editorial apologising for a previous editorial which attracted widespread criticism for its comments on last month's Oslo massacre.

Titled Apology to Norway, Friday's editorial in Israel's leading English-language daily said the original leader column "squarely condemned the attack" in which 77 people were killed by an extreme rightwing gunman acting alone. "However, it also, inappropriately, raised issues that were not directly pertinent, such as the dangers of multiculturalism, European immigration policies and even the Oslo peace process."
