Line 11: − − '''Anders Behring Breivik''' was accused of, and has since admitted, murdering at least 76 people[1] in Norway on July 22, 2011. A bomb was set off near government buildings in Oslo, killing 8. Some time later, Breivik, dressed as a policeman, gained access to the island of Utoya, where a youth camp was being sponsored by the Norwegian Labor Party. After gathering the attendees into a group, Breivik reportedly began shooting, killing at least 68 people there. − He has been charged with acts of terrorism. While appearing before a judge on July 25, 2011, Breivik admitted to the acts but pleaded not guilty.[2] − He was born in Oslo, Norway on February 13th, 1979. − − On his Facebook profile, Breivik describes himself as a Christian. He states that he chose to be baptised into the Protestant Church of Norway at the age of 15 although he later became disenchanted with Norway's State Church, supporting “an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic” in an online post in 2009.
