Anders Behring Breivik, 32, is seen in this handout photo released to Reuters.
Oslo - Norwegian police on Saturday described the main suspect in twin bomb and shooting attacks that left at least 91 dead as a Christian fundamentalist.
A police official said that information gleaned on the internet suggested the 32-year-old ethnic Norwegian was a “Christian fundamentalist.”
At least 84 people died in a shooting on Friday at a summer school meeting organised by the ruling Labour Party on Utoeya, an island outside the capital, while seven were killed when a powerful bomb ripped through central Oslo, where the prime minister's office and several government buildings are located.
According to information the suspect posted online, he is an “ethnic” Norwegian and a “Christian fundamentalist,” police official Roger Andersen said, adding his political opinions leaned “to the right,” without giving further details.
Norwegian media named him as Anders Behring Breivik, but police refused to confirm his identity.
Investigators believe he is behind both attacks but do not rule out more arrests, Andersen said.
Norwegian media had earlier said Breivik was close to far-right circles.
On his Facebook profile, the blond duspect describes himself as “conservative,” “Christian,” single, and interested in hunting and games such as “World of Warcraft” et “Modern Warfare 2.” - Sapa-AFP
