Norway’s jail terms pathetic: Breivik

Norway’s prison terms are “pathetic”, mass killer Anders Behring Breivik declared yesterday in court, claiming the death penalty or a full acquittal were the “only logical outcomes” for his massacre of 77 people.

The right-wing fanatic said he does not fear death, and that militant nationalists in Europe have a lot to learn from al-Qaeda, including their methods and glorification of martyrdom.

“If I had feared death I would not have dared to carry out this operation,” he said, referring to his July 22 attacks — a bombing in downtown Oslo that killed eight people and a shooting massacre at a youth camp outside the Norwegian capital that killed 69.
