Norway terror suspect Anders Breivik "acknowledges" carrying out a bombing and mass shootings that left scores dead on Friday, Judge Kim Heger said Monday, but Breivik said the attacks were necessary in light of the "treason" of the victims in promoting multiculturalism.
The judge ordered him held in custody for eight weeks until his next court appearance.
Authorities earlier said at least 93 people were killed and 96 wounded in the terror attacks, but today said there were fewer victims than previously thought. Ref. CNN
The total death toll in Friday's bomb blast and shootings in Norway has been revised downward from 93 to 76, police say.
Police now say eight people died in the bombing in Oslo, up one from the earlier death toll. Authorities revised downward the number of dead in the shooting on Utoya island from 86 to 68.
Police say they are still searching the island for possible victims. Ref. CNN
I think it's interesting that "Al Qaeda suspects" were arrested in Norway almost exactly a year prior to this event, supposedly planning a bombing. Now here's a Norwegian man arrested who says he planned it for over two years.
How tragic and sad in a country known more for being a peaceful place.

The media is being blamed for allowing home grown terrorist to get passed authorities because everyone thinks the bad guy looks like an Arab with cap and a gown. No one is looking for the white guy or the guy who looks like the man next door... It has to be a foreigner.
