On the 25th day of his trial for killing 77 people last July 22, Breivik surprised the court when he hailed the police, who have been severely criticised in Norway for not acting quickly enough to stop the bloodbath, insisting they did the best job possible under difficult circumstances.
Haavard Gaasbakk, the head of local police operations, told the Oslo district court he had exchanged a few words with the today 33-year-old right-wing extremist when he handcuffed him last year.
"You are not the ones I am targeting. I consider you as brothers. It's a coup: I must save Norway from Islamisation," Breivik had said as he lay on the ground with the police officer kneeling on his back.
The man on the ground was also dressed as a police officer and had just spent more than an hour methodically executing panicked youngsters attending a summer camp hosted by the ruling Labour Party's youth wing. » | Source: AFP | Friday, May 25, 2012
