Norway suspect will be interrogated again: Police

Written By DNA Web Team | Updated:

Anders Behring Breivik has pleaded not guilty to the terrorism charges he faces.

Norwegian police said today they will again interrogate the 32-year-old suspect in last week's bombing and shooting massacre that killed at least 76 people.

Police attorney Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby told a news conference they will interview Anders Behring Breivik again tomorrow, but did not indicate what they would ask him about.

Anders Behring Breivik has confessed to the attacks, saying he was trying to save the Western world from Muslim colonisation and justifying the rampage in a 1,500-page anti-immigrant manifesto.

His attorney has said he considers himself a "saviour" and that he is likely insane. He has pleaded not guilty to the terrorism charges he faces.

Breivik claimed wide contact with individuals and groups he says support his opposition to immigration. But questions persist about whether there was a genuine network or if Breivik's statements were exaggerations.

Norway's response to the camp attack, on the island of Utoya, has been criticized. Though it is just 40 kilometres from Oslo, it took police 90 minutes to get there.

The crew of the sole helicopter available to police was on vacation, and the first boat that officials tried to take to the island broke down.

The leader of Norway's Delta Force anti-terror police unit yesterday defended the special operations team and said the breakdown didn't cause a significant delay. The team jumped into other boats and got to Utoya quickly, police officials said.
