Norway attacks suspect admits responsibility: lawyer
Behring Breivik, 32, was detained for allegedly shooting at least 85 people dead at a youth Labour Party meeting on an island and killing seven more in a car bomb explosion which ripped through government buildings in Oslo.
"He admitted responsibility," lawyer Geir Lippestad told the television station yesterday(Jul 23).
"He explained that it was cruel but that he had to go through with these acts," Lippestad said, adding that the attacks were "apparently planned over a long period of time".
