Anders Behring Breivik

Breivik Dept: STOCKHOLM - Before his gruesome slaughter, Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik described in a manifesto how he would use the trial against him to gain worldwide attention and spread extreme right-wing ideas, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Some 800 journalists followed his trial for the slayings of 77 people, with broadcasters across Europe showing large chunks of the proceedings live. The extensive coverage triggered a debate over whether the media should provide a platform for a man who admits to killing 77 people to promote his intense anti-Islam ideology and utoya shooting survivor Tore Sinding Bekkedal, right, speaks to the media in front of the courtroom where Anders Behring Breivik is appearing on terror and murder charges, Oslo, Norway, Monday, April 16, 2012.
