Norway massacre: Police probe killer's links to UK 25 July 2011 Last updated at 13:34 GMT

 

Scotland Yard is checking any possible links between the man who massacred at least 93 people in Norway and British right-wing and anti-Islamic groups.

Anders Breivik, 32, admits carrying out a bombing in Oslo and shootings at a youth camp on Utoeya island on Friday.
He had written a 1,500-page manifesto in English in which he said he was recruited by two English extremists.
But police sources say nothing significant has been found to suggest he planned the attacks in the UK.
The UK National Security Council has called on police and security services to re-assess the level of scrutiny of far right groups.
Following a meeting of the council in the morning, a Downing Street spokesman said: "We are going to take stock of what happened in Norway and see if there are lessons to be learned."
Prime Minister David Cameron said he took claims that Mr Breivik had been recruited by English extremists "extremely seriously".
Speaking at a press conference with the Spanish prime minister, he said: "Everyone in Britain shares in the sorrow and the anger at the despicable killing which took place on Friday.
"Britain and Norway have been good allies and neighbours in very dark days before and we know the resilience and the courage and the decency of our Norwegian friends will overcome this evil."
The Metropolitan Police said the force was liaising with the Norwegians, although no formal police investigation is under way.
A British counter-terrorism police officer is based in Norway and was there before Friday but was not sent in response to the bombing and shootings.
Police sources say any links between Britain and Mr Breivik appear to be historical.

Mr Breivik's court hearing was closed to the public

The gunman, a Norwegian with far-right links, said he planted the bomb which killed seven people in central Oslo and later carried out a massacre of 85 people at a youth camp on Utoeya. An 86th person died in hospital on Sunday.
He said he carried out the attacks alone, describing his actions as "gruesome but necessary".
Mr Breivik has made his first appearance in court, although the hearing was held behind closed doors following a ruling by the judge.

"Our Facebook page had 100,000 supporters and receives tens of thousands of comments each day. And there is no evidence that Breivik was ever one of those 100,000 supporters."
