Breivik manifesto copied parts of Unabomber text

PARTS of Anders Behring Breivik’s 1,500-page online manifesto against Muslim immigration, which his lawyer said he wrote alone, were taken almost word for word from the writings of the “Unabomber”.

Ted Kaczynski is serving a life sentence in federal prison in Colorado for mail bombs that killed three people and injured 23 others across the US from the 1970s to the 1990s.

The passages copied by Breivik appear in the first few pages of Kaczynski’s manifesto. Breivik changed a Kaczynski screed on leftism and what he considered to be leftists’ “feelings of inferiority” — mainly by substituting the words “multiculturalism” or “cultural Marxism” for “leftism”. Breivik did not cite Kaczynski.
