The man who killed 77 says he was inspired by Al Qaeda
Thirty three-year-old rightwing extremist, Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in July last year, is currently undergoing trial.
Unapologetic about what he did, Breivik told the court that he would "have done it again".
Breivik, who had published a 1,500-page manifesto on the day of the attacks, said that he was a part of the Knights Templar -- a network of militant nationalists – which he had founded with three others in London in 2002.

While he appeared calm on the first two days of the trial, Breivik lost his cool in court on Wednesday. He refused to cooperate with prosecutors as they questioned him about his contact with "militant nationalists".
Anders Behring Breivik is currently lodged in Halden prison, one of the world's most luxurious prisons.

On July 22, 2011, Breivik set off a bomb that killed eight people in a van parked outside the office of Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Dressed as a police officer, Breivik then went on a shooting spree at Utoeya island. He killed 69, mostly teens.
