Norway terror attacks

On July 22, 2011, the calm and quiet of Norway – one the world's most peaceful countries – was shattered as a bomb ripped through a building in Oslo and gun shots rang out shortly after at a tourist isle.

The Norway attacks that killed nearly 91 people were two sequential terror strikes – one in a government block that houses the Prime Minister's office and the other at a summer camp being attended by the youth wing of a political party.

Police arrested 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik shortly after the attacks on suspicion of opening fire at the youth camp on Utoeya island.

Breivik later confessed to carrying out the strikes in Oslo as well as the mass shootings he described as "atrocious but necessary". Police claimed he acted alone.

Breivik told the police he was a right-wing extremist, acting to save Norway and Europe from Muslims and multiculturalism.

He also claimed to be connected with Norwegian and international far-right political movements.


In a rambling manifesto distributed online, Breivik said a mystery crusader network called the Knights Templar was plotting to overthrow European governments and expel Muslim immigrants in a civil war culminating in 2083.

On July 25, 2011, Breivik was charged with terrorism under the criminal law and ordered held for eight weeks pending further court proceedings.

He was to spend the first four weeks under solitary confinement.

On September 20, 2011, Breivik’s solitary confinement was extended by a further two months.

His lawyer Geir Lippestad said Breivik had shown no signs of regret for his deeds.

"He has not expressed any remorse," he said. "He appeared calm and restrained as he had been earlier".

"He said a few words about how he saw custody and isolation. He said it is tough to be in isolation," Lippestad said.

Legal experts expect Breivik to remain in prison until trial, possibly in the first half of 2012.

However, he will not necessarily stay in solitary confinement that long.

Prosecutors are considering charging him with crimes against humanity under a 2008 law.
