View of Oslo following the car bombing orchestrated by Breivik on July 22, 2011.In Norway this past week, a killer who murdered 77 in a car bombing and shooting rampage last summer was put on trial.

Beginning on Monday, Anders Behring Brevik shocked the world as he saluted and smiled throughout courtroom proceedings, with families of victims looking on. The emotionally charged trial reached a high point this past Friday, however, as Behring, a young loner who allegedly orchestrated the large scale killings to rid Norway of its multicultural exponents, recounted the events that led to his crimes.

Breivik first spoke about how he learned to prepare explosives. According to the Daily News, Breivik said he had studied the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and the Oklahoma City explosion devised by Timothy McVeigh in 1995, and used relevant information to construct the car bomb that killed eight and wounded hundreds in Oslo on July 22, 2011. Following the car explosion, the murderer fled to nearby Utoya Island, where he conducted a second, far more egregious, attack.

A youth camp for the Labor Party was being held in Utoya, and, according to Breivik, his aim was to kill these teenagers for the party’s multicultural values. Until Friday, only the memories of the lives of the teenagers preserved by families and friends were being kept alive. With Breivik’s testimony, the final moments of the youths, their dying words and actions, were climactically revealed.

“Some of them are completely paralyzed. They cannot run,” recalled Breivik, as he retold what took place on Utoya Island. “They stand totally still. This is something they never show on TV. It was very strange.”

Breivik added that killing on the island was not as easy as the death toll of his crimes seemed to indicate. “My whole body tried to revolt when I took the weapon in my hand,” he confessed. “There were 100 voices in my head saying ‘don’t do it, don’t do it.’”

But the moral voice faded as Breivik entered into a “modus,” carrying out the executions of 69 people. Earlier in the court proceedings, Breivik avowed he would undergo the exact same course of events if given the opportunity to do so. On Friday, he gave further indication of his militant convictions, lauding al-Qaeda.

“[Al-Qaeda is] the most successful revolutionary movement in the world,” he claimed.
