A right-wing zealot who admitted to bomb and gun attacks in Norway that killed 93 people on Friday claims he acted alone. As stunned Norwegians grappled with the deadliest attack in the country since World War II, a portrait began to emerge of the suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, 32. The police identified him as a right-wing fundamentalist Christian.
According to the police, Mr. Breivik first drew security services to central Oslo when he exploded a car bomb outside a 17-story government office building, killing at least seven people. Then he took a public ferry to Utoya Island, where he carried out a remarkably meticulous attack on Norway’s current and future political elite. Dressed as a police officer, he announced that he had come to check on the security of the young people who were attending a political summer camp there, many of them the children of members of the governing Labor Party.
The NewYorkTimes is reporting that:
“He gathered the campers together and for some 90 hellish minutes he coolly and methodically shot them, hunting down those who fled.”
At least 85 people, some as young as 16, were killed.
