'The suspect in the twin attacks in Norway has been identified as Anders Behring B., a 32-year-old Christian fundamentalist with anti-Islamic views. A police officer who described B. as "cold as ice" said the suspect had no known links to Norway's neo-Nazi scene.
Info

Police have identified the man who killed at least 91 people in twin attacks in Norway on Friday as Anders Behring B., a 32-year-old Christian with conservative and nationalistic views. B., who had a gun permit for a Glock pistol and an automatic rifle, apparently lived with his mother in a nondescript four-story brick building in the west of Oslo.

A special police unit raided B.'s apartment around 11 p.m. on Friday. According to investigations by Norwegian media, B. was a right-wing extremist who had repeatedly made anti-Islamic statements on Internet forums. Six days before the attacks, he sent his first and only message from his Twitter account. It read: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests" -- a quote from the British philosopher John Stuart Mill.'

B.'s Facebook page, which was taken offline late on Friday evening, featured a photograph of the suspect, who has wavy blond hair, a square jaw and blue eyes, looking off into the distance. B. apparently played the computer game "World of Warcraft" and was a member of a shooting club in Oslo. A childhood friend of the suspect told the Norwegian tabloid VG that B. had begun to talk about right-wing extremist ideas when he was in his late 20s. B. also maintained a racist profile on Facebook, the friend said. B. had served in the Norwegian army but had no other known connections to the military. He had also not come to the attention of the police, apart from a minor traffic offense 10 years ago, VG reported.'
