Inga Bejer Engh: Norway

Immigration Policies Dept: Mr. Breivik has confessed to the July 22 attacks but denies criminal guilt, portraying the victims as traitors for embracing immigration policies he claims will result in an Islamic colonization of Norway, according to Globe and Mail. Reading from the indictment, prosecutor Inga Bejer Engh said 34 of the victims at Utoya were between 14 and 17 years old, 22 were aged 18-20, six were between 21 and 25 and seven were older than 25 and as expected, they charged him under a paragraph in Norway s anti-terror law that refers to violent acts intended to disrupt key government functions or spread fears in the population. The indictment listed the names of the eight people killed when a bomb exploded in downtown Oslo and the 69 victims of a shooting spree on Utoya island outside the capital, where the youth wing of the governing Labor Party was holding its annual summer camp.
