Anders Behring Breivik 'Cried With Joy' As He Carried Out Utoya Massacre

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Anders Behring Breivik shouted with joy as he carried out his massacre on Utoya island, a survivor of the Norwegian atrocity has claimed.

Tonje Brenna told the Oslo district court how she had heard the killer's ecstatic shouts as bodies fell around her hiding place in the crack of a cliff.

"I am absolutely sure that I heard cries of joy," said the 24-year-old head of the ruling Labour Party's youth wing, AUF, who was the first of the Utoya survivors to take the stand.

"If I had to spell it out, it would be WOO-HOO. Obviously cries for joy," she said.

Seated at a table just a few feet from her, Breivik, who has showed [sic] virtually no emotion since his trial began on April 16, sat shaking his head in disapproval as Miss Brenna recounted the events of July 22.

The 33-year-old right-wing extremist, who is eager for the court to find him of sound mind so his anti-Islam ideology will not be written off as the ravings of a lunatic, has insisted that he never laughed or smiled during the massacre. » | Source: AFP | Wednesday, May 09, 2012
