Oslo District Court: Anders Behring Breivik

Oslo Dept: Jon Olson, captain of the MS Thorbjoern ferry, told the Oslo District Court about his "angst and full panic" as he desperately tried to contact police about the attack on the island after his ferry docked at Utoya, according to CBC. Olson, who lost his partner, Monica Boesei the second person to die in the shootings said neither he nor his crew suspected the uniform-clad Breivik to be anything other than a police officer who had come to inform them about the Oslo attack. Breivik boarded the boat some two hours after setting off the bomb and witnesses on Thursday described in chilling detail how mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik tricked them into believing he was a policeman on the ferry to Utoya island, where he then killed 69 people mostly teenagers in a shooting spree. Breivik has admitted to a bombing in Oslo's government district that killed eight people and the subsequent shooting massacre at a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya. He claims the attacks were "necessary" and that the victims had betrayed Norway by embracing immigration. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
