Apr 17, 2012 — Anders Behring Breivik, an anti-Muslim extremist, again insisted he is the leader of an "anti-communist" resistance movement and an anti-Islam militant group he called the Knights Templar. He killed 77 people, many of them teenagers.The man who massacred 77 people last July in Norway said today in court that "I would have done it again," The Associated Press reports.
Anders Behring Breivik, an anti-Muslim extremist, again insisted he is the leader of "an 'anti-communist' resistance movement and an anti-Islam militant group he called the Knights Templar," the wire service adds.
It was last July 22 when Breivik first set off a bomb in Oslo, then drove to a nearby island and attacked a Labor Party youth camp.
In a statement to the court today, the admitted killer said "the attacks on July 22 were a preventive strike. I acted in self-defense on behalf of my people, my city, my country. ... I therefore demand to be found innocent of the present charges."
