Norwegian Killer Says He Was Influenced By Al-Qaeda

The gunman behind the Norway massacres on Tuesday said he was inspired by al-Qaeda and would repeat the carnage if he could as he took the stand on the second day of the trial.

Rightwing extremist Anders Behring Breivik said his twin attacks last year that killed 77 people were aimed at defending “ethnic Norwegians” from rising multiculturalism and that he “would have done it again.”

Insisting that “universal human rights” gave him the mandate to carry out his acts, he described himself as a “militant nationalist” and, using the pronoun ‘we’ to suggest he was part of a larger group, added: “We have drawn from al-Qaeda and militant Islamists.”
