Anders Behring Breivik refuses to answer questions about ‘English mentor’

Prosecutors have said they believe Breivik’s “Knights Templar” group
does not exist “in the way he describes it.” Breivik insists it
does, and said police just had not done a good enough job in uncovering it.

Paul Ray, the British far-Right activist is widely considered to be the
unnamed “mentor” mentioned by Breivik in his police statement and
1,500-page manifesto he posted online shortly before carrying out the
attack.

Mr Ray, a former member of the English Defence League, who now lives in Malta,
ran a “Richard the Lionhearted” blog and has admitted
he recognised himself in Breivik’s description
. He has categorically
denied however acting as a mentor to Breivik and said he has never met him. He
travelled to Norway last August to voluntarily submit himself to police
investigating the attack
.

The issue is of key importance in determining Breivik’s sanity, and whether he
is sent to prison or compulsory psychiatric care for the bomb-and-shooting
massacre that shocked Norway on July 22.

Breivik claims to have carried out the attacks on behalf of the organisation,
which he describes as a militant nationalist group fighting a Muslim
colonisation of Europe.

Prosecutor Inga Bejer Engh pressed the 33-year-old Norwegian about details on
the group, its members and its meetings. Breivik claimed to have met a Serb “war
hero” living in exile during a trip to Liberia in 2001, but he refused
to identify him.

“What is it you’re getting at?” Breivik told the prosecutor, then
answering the question himself, saying prosecutors want to “sow doubt
over whether the KT network exists.”

Britain came up repeatedly during Breivik’s testimony on Tuesday. Luton was a
city where the indigenous population “and even emergency vehicles”
were unable to enter large areas, allegedly because of the depredations of
Muslim immigrants, he claimed.

The main point of his defence is to avoid an insanity ruling, which would
deflate his political arguments.

One psychiatric evaluation found him psychotic and “delusional,”
while another found him mentally competent to be sent to prison.

If found mentally sane, Breivik could face a maximum 21-year prison sentence
or an alternate custody arrangement that would keep him locked up as long as
he is considered a menace to society.

If declared insane he would be committed to psychiatric care for as long as
he’s considered ill.

Breivik admits he set off a bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo,
killing eight, then drove to Utoya island outside the capital and massacred
69 people in a shooting spree at the governing Labor Party’s youth summer
camp on Utoya island. On Tuesday he boasted that it was the most “spectacular”
attack by a nationalist militant since World War II.

He said his victims – mostly teenagers – were not innocent but legitimate
targets because they were representatives of a “multiculturalist”
regime he claims is deconstructing Norway’s national identity by allowing
immigration.
