Breivik called police twice during slaughter

Norwegian police say the man behind the July attacks that killed 77 people hung his phone up twice on authorities while calling to surrender during the shooting at a youth camp at Utoya island.

Police said the first phone call came 26 minutes before the police arrested Anders Behring Breivik..

“I am at Utoya at the moment. I want to surrender,” Breivik said, according to a transcript distributed at a news conference.

Local police chief Sissel Hammer said “the operator took the conversation seriously and called back. No one answered.”

Breivik called again one minute before being captured and asked to be transferred to the commander of the anti-terror police unit.

“I am a commander in the Norwegian resistance movement,” the shooter said. “I have fulfilled my operation, so I want to ... surrender.”

Once again, Breivik hung up, but he surrendered to police one minute later.

Breivik detonated a car bomb outside government buildings in Oslo, killing eight, and then shot dead 69 others at a youth camp outside Oslo.
