Photo Gallery Norway's 9/11
Norway and the world are still struggling to understand the ghastly deeds of Anders Breivik, who was driven to kill by his hatred of Muslims. Here, a sign points to the island of Utøya, the site of the massacre.
His confused worldview, which Breivik describes in a 1,500-word manifesto, was influenced by European right-wing populists. This photo shows Breivik leaving a court appearance on July 25.
During the arrest, the police had permission to shoot Breivik if he took one more step forward. Here, police arrive on the island.
Breivik appears to have been influenced in his thinking by right-wing populists such as Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
Used rounds are seen on the floor at a shooting range near Oslo where Beivik used to train. He describes his preparations for the attack in his 1,500-page manifesto.
Bano Rashid, an 18-year-old who was killed in the attack, was the first victim to be buried (July 29 photo).
Breivik rented a farm in the small town of Rena, about 100 miles north of Oslo, apparently as a front for buying fertilizer to use in bomb-making.
Breivik is similar in some respects to the "Unabomber," Ted Kaczynski, who sent parcel bombs to university professors and corporate executives.
The Norwegian also has much in common with Mohammed Atta, the man who crashed the plane into the North Tower of New York's World Trade Center during the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Like al-Qaida terrorists, Breivik wanted to impose a world of rigid, backward morality in which women are subservient, children can be severely disciplined, and God the Almighty has decreed that men should rule.
