Norway Attacks Trial: Breivik ‘Hoped to Kill Hundreds’
Norway’s confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik says he intended hundreds should die in his attack on a Labor Party camp last year.
Breivik, 33, told his trial he planned to behead former Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland during the rampage, and post a video of it on the internet.
He also hoped his car bomb in Oslo would kill the entire government.
The attacks killed 77 people. Breivik, 33, disputes a report by a psychiatrist describing him as insane.
