This attack is one of the most worrying kind.
Planned well in advance, with careful thought to the after events, and the ability to create publicity for his cause with the ensuing court case.

The man charged with the twin terror attacks that killed at least 93 people in Norway on Friday is expected to plead not guilty when he appears in court on Monday despite telling his lawyer the atrocities had been "gruesome but necessary".

Anders Behring Breivik has confessed to the bombing in Oslo and the mass shooting at a youth camp on Utøya island, but denied criminal responsibility.

He said he wanted to start a revolution in Norwegian society to defeat liberal immigration policies and the spread of Islam.

"He thought it was gruesome having to commit these acts, but in his head they were necessary," Breivik's lawyer, Geir Lippestad, told the Norwegian broadcaster NRK.

The island of Utøya is owned by the Norwegian Workers' Youth League, formed in 1927 by the merger of the Left Communist Youth League and the Socialist Youth League of Norway.

Anders Behring Breivik is quoted as being a far right extremist.

On triple M this morning they spoke to a 22 year old survivor who was shot in the shoulder and played dead while the gunman stood over him. It was very humbling and I had the biggest lump in my throat. He is going to help other familkies get through this as he is a youth worker....Amazing strength of charecter :yes:

I was reading some texts between a mother and daughter. The daughter was hiding behind a rock in the water with some others. Thankfully she's alive but what that mother went through (and everyone else of course) doesn't bear thinking about. :no:
