Norway’s police chief resigned Thursday, days after an independent commission found that the police could have prevented the far-right militant Anders Behring Breivik from killing 77 people last year in a bombing in Oslo and a massacre at a youth summer camp. The police chief, Oeystein Maeland, has been criticized for failing to face up to police shortcomings. The commission said that intelligence services could have learned about Mr. Breivik’s plans months before the attack when he purchased bomb-making components, and that the police had enough information to stop him as he made his way from the bombing scene to the youth camp.
