    Norway mass killer faces last hearing before trial

    OSLO, Norway (AP) — The right-wing extremist who confessed to a bombing and mass shooting that killed 77 people went before a Norwegian court Monday in the last scheduled detention hearing before his trial.

    Unlike the only previous public hearing, Anders Behring Breivik this time agreed to let himself be photographed before the proceedings began.

    A live broadcast by Norway's NRK TV showed the 32-year-old Norwegian — dark suited, hands in cuffs and smirking — being led into the court room. As he sat, Breivik pulled a piece of paper from his right jacket pocket, apparently with notes he had prepared for the hearing.

    About 100 survivors and relatives of the victims of the July 22 massacre attended the hearing in Oslo's district court — expected to decide to keep Breivik in jail until his trial begins in April.

    Breivik has admitted he carried out the bombing outside the government headquarters in Oslo and the shooting massacre at a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya island, outside the capital.

    But he denies criminal guilt, saying he's a commander of a militant organization aiming to overthrow European governments and replace them with "patriotic" regimes that would deport Muslim immigrants.

    Police have not found any trace of his supposed network of "Knights Templar" and say Breivik carried out the attacks on his own.

    A psychiatric evaluation has found him criminally insane. He has refused to cooperate with psychiatrists working on a second, court-ordered evaluation of his mental health.

      Too bad Norway no longer has the death penalty. Breivik deserves the same fate as Quisling.

        You hope I keep it in mind? I'm not trying to analyze the nut job, I think they should hang him, crazy or not!

      Right wing extremist ? Is that like a Republican, or an Ayatollah, or Nazi, or, Maoist, Stalinist ? If it were not for Liberals this pr-ck would not still be alive, at tax-payer expense. Get the rope.

        Just because you don't like a person does not give you the right to lynch him. That is what he is guilty of.

        I agree, yet that is not the case. It is not that I do not like him, it is that he admits to the mass murder he is accused of. Who said anything about lynching ? An execution by established authority is not murder, by the way. Unless, of course, that established authority is corrupt, like say GITMO. You must feel that because the government ends the life of someone because of crimes they have committed, they, the government is just as guilty as the criminal. Humbug !

      He is so out of it. He has that same facial expression as Son of Sam, in his own crazed world.

      they must be very easy on murder in Norway...in the USA killing 77 people in a terror attack would be life...or death if he was mentally capable to be tried........

      That's the problem with Liberals. They allow Muslims to take over their country and they allow mass killers a country club existence in prison for only 21 years (surely he's learned not to shoot 77 people after being in prison for 21 years, right?). Don't be a Liberal!
