A less ambiguous (and less compact) phrasing would have been "victims of terrorist" but brevity trumps absolute clarity in headlines. People are killed by terrorists, not terror.

The reason I didn't have to enumerate an explicit city in that sentence again is because I already had. You see, I *do* know that there are many cities in Norway, because I have visited them on several occasions.

Try inserting "of (Oslo?)" at the end of your introductory sentence :-) Sorry to cuss out your prose but there is probably more than
