Anders Behring Breivik trial: Killer ‘planned to behead Norway PM’

MASS killer Anders Breivik says he was planning to capture and decapitate former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland during his shooting massacre on Utoya island, a court heard today.

On the fourth day of his terror trial, the anti-Muslim extremist told the Oslo court that he planned to film the beheading and post the video on the internet.

Brundtland had already left the Labour Party’s youth camp on Utoya when Breivik arrived on July 22.

The far-right fanatic said he also planned to kill many more than the 69 people who died on the island.

There were nearly 600 people there. Breivik said: “the goal was to kill them all”.

Earlier, Breivik said he thought he had only a slim chance of escaping Norway’s capital alive after setting off a bomb.

He said he had expected to be confronted by armed police when he left Oslo for a youth camp on Utoya island, where he killed 69 people in a shooting massacre. No one stopped Breivik on his way to the island.

Breivik told the court today he had prepared for a firefight with police in Oslo by playing video games, and said: “I estimated the chances of survival as less than 5 per cent.”

Breivik has confessed to the bomb and shooting rampage, but rejects criminal guilt saying he was acting to protect Norway and Europe.
