Anders Behring Breivik: Prosecutors

Norway Dept: As expected, prosecutors charged the 33-year-old right-wing extremist Wednesday under a paragraph in Norway's anti-terror law that refers to violent acts intended to disrupt key government functions or spread fears in the population, according to CBC. Eight people were killed when a bomb exploded in downtown Oslo and another 69 people died in a shooting spree on Utoya island outside the capital, where the youth wing of the governing Labor Party was holding its annual summer camp and norwegian prosecutors have formally indicted Anders Behring Breivik on terror charges, more than seven months after he confessed to attacks that killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage. Breivik admitted he carried out the July 22 attacks but denies criminal guilt, portraying the victims as "traitors" for embracing immigration policies he claims will result in an Islamic colonization of Norway.
