Norwegian organic farmer and fundamentalist Christian, who with a semi-automatic rifle shot and killed 69 people on the island of Utøya near Oslo, during a summer camp on 22 July 2011. He also committed the bombing in central Oslo earlier that same day, which killed 8 and caused injury and widespread damage to the immediate area. As a farmer, Breivik was able to buy six tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, far more than he would require for legitimate purposes. On 24 August 2012, the Oslo District Court found him guilty on all 77 counts of murder and sentenced him to a minimum of ten years "preventive detention", which can be extended indefinitely. It is likely Breivik will spend his life in prison.


[1] From a Breivik blog post, 2009: "Today's Protestant church is a joke. Priests in jeans who march for Palestine and churches that look like minimalist shopping centres. I am a supporter of an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic."

[2] Manifesto, 2011: "A couple of my friends have their suspicions though. However, I have managed to channel these suspicions far away from relating to my political convictions. Instead they suspect that I am playing WoW (and trying to hide it) and a couple of them believe that I have chosen semi-isolation because of some alleged homosexual relationship which they suspect I am trying to hide, LOL. Quite hilarious, as I am 100% hetero, but they may continue to believe what they want as it prevents them from asking more questions."
