Norway gunman back on island with police
NORWAY: Anders Behring Breivik, who last month carried out the
most murderous attacks on Norwegian soil since World War II, has
returned to the site of his island massacre to describe the killing,
police said Sunday.
The 32-year-old rightwing extremist who on July 22 first set off a
bomb outside government offices in Oslo then went on a shooting rampage
on the nearby island of Utoeya, killing 77 people in all, was
"interrogated by police on Utoeya" Saturday, Oslo police said in a
statement without providing any further details. The Verdens Gang (VG)
daily meanwhile published pictures taken from a distance of a heavily
guarded and shackled Behring Breivik, with a rope also tied around his
waist, leading police around the island.
Just over three weeks ago, the ruling Labour Party's youth wing had
been hosting a summer camp there when he suddenly opened fire, killing
69 people, many of them teenagers.According to VG, Behring Breivik was
taken across to the island shortly after 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) Saturday as
police helicopters circled above. The paper, which reported police had
filmed the reconstruction and questioning on the island to use as
evidence, cited the killer's lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said his client
remembers in detail each shot fired.
