Details of massacre in Norway unveiled
OSLO, Norway -- Exactly 100 people were shot, some of them up to eight times, before the gunman surrendered. Of 69 people killed, 56 were shot in the head. One drowned and another fell off a cliff in desperate attempts to flee the mayhem.
The indictment unveiled yesterday against confessed killer and right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik describes the horror unleashed on a political youth camp on July 22 with gruesome detail.
"Panic and mortal fear in children, youth and adults arose during the shooting, further intensified by the fact that there were limited possibilities of escape or hiding," prosecutors said in a 19-page document charging Breivik with terrorism and premeditated murder.
Breivik, 33, has confessed to the massacre on Utoya island and a bombing that killed eight people in Oslo the same day, but denies criminal guilt. He has portrayed the victims as "traitors" for embracing immigration policies he claims will result in an Islamic colonization of Norway. -- AP
