N2  - The detonation of a bomb in a shopping center in Vantaa, Finland, took place on 11 October 2002. Seven people died as a result and > 160 people required medical attention. Because the rescue teams were inadequately trained to respond to terrorist attacks, the event was handled according to protocol. A number of problems arose, including: people from different rescue agencies were difficult to distinguish from each other; there was inadequate communication between the incident site and the main hospital; relatives of victims were not kept informed; and psychiatric problems in the wake of the disaster were not addressed sufficiently.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
