Norway Killer Admits to Massacre in First Public Statement

July 22nd was the day that Anders Behring Breivik acted out Norway's biggest modern-day massacre by placing a car bomb at an Oslo government building, which killed 8, and then going on to shoot and kill 69 more people at a summer camp on an island. Most of the people he killed were in their teens or early 20's. Breivik is known for having a strong anti-immigration philosophy. He has had 4 hearings, however, he spoke out in an open court on Monday for the first time, admitting to killing the 77 people, but denying that he was guilty in anyway. Breivik claims that he is a military commander in the Norwegian resistance movement and Knights Templar Norway. He claims that he acknowledges his actions but does not plead guilty to anything.
