Norway Bomber Appears in Court

Anders Behring Breivik

The man who has admitted carrying out Friday's twin terror attacks in Norway, Anders Behring Breivik, made his first appearance in court. Under Norwegian law, he faces a maximum of 21 years in jail if convicted

He has confessed to carrying out  last Friday’s twin terror attacks in Norway. A judge has ruled that his trial will be conducted  behind closed doors. 32 year old Mr Breivik, has admitted carrying out a bombing in the capital, Oslo, and a massacre on an island youth camp in which at least 68 people died. He is said to be linked to far-right groups and to have spent years planning the attacks.
In his first appearance in court Breivik claimed he worked in an organization with two more cells and said the attacks were necessary to "save Norway and Western Europe." He accused Norway's ruling Labour Party of a "mass import of Muslims" and said he wanted to hamper future recruitment.


Mr Breivik  requested his trial be open to give him essentially a public platform to talk about his ideology and his motives. Fortunately his request was not granted.
The police submitted a request also to the judge, saying they wanted a media blackout, because of their concern that Mr Breivik would talk openly about his beliefs and quote his manifesto . Police say they now know a lot more about that manifesto from the 1,500-page document  which he posted online just before the attacks on Friday in which he made himself out to be what he describes as a crusader against Muslim immigration into Western Europe.  

 The father of Anders Breivik said his son should have killed himself.  "I don't feel like his father," he is reported as saying. "How could he just stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that what he did was OK?" He told the Swedish newspaper Expressen: "He should have taken his own life, too. That's what he should have done.

"The total death toll now stands at 75

He looks mighty pleased with himself
