Information that we now know about this terrorist.
1) He is a white man, native Norwegian.
2) He calls himself a Christian, and from his writings we can throw him on the radical evangelical side of Christianity. He wants to go "back to basics" on the religious front.
3) He calls himself a cultural conservative. This is based on his online writings. His views on many things are on the far right of European politics. He use to be a member of the mainstream far right Fremskridtspartiet in Norway but left them after disagreements with the party line. He is against the UN, multiculturalism, Muslims, immigration and the left and basically anyone he does not agree with. He blames the political correct parties (including Fremskridtspartiet) for the degeneration of Norwegian society.
4) He is a nationalist big time.
5) He has been planning this for 3+ years.
6) He did make the bombs involved, according to the manifesto released online by him, on the day of the attacks. He claims the manifesto is his according to his lawyer.
LiveLeak.com - Oslo Terrorist Anders Behring Breivik Manifesto
The above link has links to the manifesto, plus a video he released to his Facebook friends and friend of friends on the day of the attack.
7) The manifesto is a very detailed of the last 85 days of preparations.
8) He owns a farm and hence can/could get access to the material used in the bomb.
9) The police did not know anything about this, since his online persona, while far right wing, does not come with threats or any wacko ideas that would have triggered red flags.
Things we dont know yet.
1) Another attacker.. chances are getting small but there is still a chance there was others.
2) Contacts to radical right wing groups in Europe and the US. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there are some hints of him being in contact to groups in the two areas.. groups that share his political views.
But one thing that is getting much clearer... he is going for the "crazy" card when it comes to his judicial case but regardless of this.. he is and always will be a terrorist.
