Three-year-old Abhigyan and one-year-old Aishwarya will take a flight out of Oslo to Frankfurt and then to India along with their uncle Arunabhash Bhattacharya. The two children will be raised by foster parents in India. The Norwegian Child Welfare Services...

Oslo: If all goes well for the Bhattacharya family, then a Norwegian court could send the two Indian children " Abhigyan and Aishwariya " with their uncle back home to India. A court judgment in favour got a major boost last week when the Norwegian Child Welfare Services said it was in the best interest of the children if they returned to India. The two children have been in the...

Oslo: Norwegian killer Anders Breivik has told a court in Oslo that he picked up strategies from the Al Qaeda and said it could serve as inspiration to European far-right militants. Breivik said he had been closely following Al Qaeda since 2006 and studied each of their actions. "(Al Qaeda is) the most successful revolutionary movement in the world," he said. The 33-year-old said he had read more than 600...

Oslo: The Norwegian anti-Muslim fanatic who killed 77 people in a shooting and bombing rampage last July told a court on Friday he was basically a "nice person" who had trained himself to stifle his emotions so he could carry out the attacks. Anders Behring Breivik, 33, admits killing eight people with a car bomb at government headquarters in Oslo, then gunning down 69 people, most of them teenagers, at...

Oslo: Anders Behring Breivik on Tuesday defended his massacre of 77 people, insisting he would do it again and calling the bomb-and-shooting rampage the most "spectacular" attack by a nationalist militant since World War II. Reading a prepared statement in court, the anti-Muslim extremist lashed out at Norwegian and European governments for embracing immigration and multiculturalism. He claimed to be speaking as a commander of an "anti-communist" resistance movement and...

Oslo: The right-wing fanatic who confessed to killing 77 people in a bomb-and-shooting massacre went on trial in Norway's capital on Monday, defiantly rejecting the authority of the court. Anders Behring Breivik, dressed in a dark suit, smiled as a guard removed his handcuffs in the crowded court room. The 33-year-old then flashed a closed-fist salute, before shaking hands with prosecutors and court officials. "I don't recognize Norwegian courts because...

Oslo: Exactly 100 people were shot, some of them up to eight times, before the gunman surrendered to police. Of the 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 on Wednesday against confessed killer and rightist extremist Anders Behring Breivik describes the horror unleashed on a political youth camp on July...

Oslo: Confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik belongs in psychiatric care instead of prison, Norwegian prosecutors said on Tuesday after a mental evaluation declared him legally insane during a bomb-and-shooting rampage that killed 77 people. The court-ordered assessment found that the self-styled anti-Muslim militant was psychotic during the July 22 attacks, which would make him mentally unfit to be convicted and imprisoned for the country's worst peacetime massacre. The report,...

Oslo: The accused ringleader of a terror plot in Norway has rejected charges that he conspired with al Qaeda to attack a Danish newspaper, saying he was planning a solo raid against the Chinese Embassy in Oslo. Mikael Davud, a Chinese Muslim, told the Oslo district court on Thursday his two alleged accomplices helped him acquire bomb-making ingredients but didn't know he was planning an attack. The trio was arrested...

Oslo: Adrian Pracon was determined to return to the island where he nearly died. A month ago, terrified and panicked, the 21-year-old played dead while Norwegian killer Ander Behring Breivik stood over his body, the gun so close he could feel the warmth of the barrel. Pracon is one of about 600 survivors of the massacre at Utoeya island, where Breivik killed 69 people, most of them youngsters at a...

Oslo: A Norwegian court on Friday extended by four weeks the isolation detention of the man who confessed to killing 77 people after a shooting rampage at a youth camp and a bombing in the capital saying it still does not know if he acted alone. Anders Behring Breivik must be kept in complete isolation for fear he would tamper with evidence and contact possible accomplices, the Oslo District Court...

Oslo: Norwegian police say the man who has confessed to killing 69 people at an island youth camp has been brought back to the crime scene. Police say they took Anders Behring Breivik back to Utoya island on Saturday for a reconstruction of the July 22 terror attacks, when Breivik shot the victims dead on the island and killed eight further people in central Oslo with a bomb. Breivik's lawyer...

Mumbai and Oslo are two very different cities. Apart from being the financial centre and the international face of their respective countries, they have little in common. Mumbai is a city of nearly 20 million people, where billionaires vie with some of the world's poorest people for potholed road space. The Norwegian capital is a tiny city with less than one-tenth the people in Mumbai, low-rise buildings and world-class infrastructure...

Oslo, Norway: It's unlikely that the right-wing extremist who admitted killing dozens in Norway last week will be declared legally insane because he appears to have been in control of his actions, the head of the panel that will review his psychiatric evaluation told The Associated Press. The decision on Anders Behring Breivik's mental state will determine whether he can be held criminally liable and punished with a prison sentence...

Oslo: Norwegian police on Thursday ended a six-day search for bodies on the island where Anders Behring Breivik shot dead 68 people, and said they were increasingly certain he acted alone. Breivik, 32, killed a total of 76 people, in a bomb attack in central Oslo and then in the shooting rampage at the island summer camp for the ruling Labour Party's youth wing. "The search at Utoeya (island) has...

London: Much remains unknown about what sparked Anders Behring Breivik's killing spree in Norway on July 22, whether he acted alone or was part of a wider organisation. But one thing his writings make clear is his overall aim - to use mass murder to draw attention to his extremist agenda and redraw the boundaries of political debate. In that, he was following a tried-and-true road already followed by many...

Oslo: A spokesman for the Norwegian Railway Authority says parts of Oslo's central station were evacuated on Wednesday as police investigated an abandoned suitcase. Olav Nordli says the suitcase was found in the area where buses depart for Oslo's airport. Police have sealed off the area and are examining the abandoned luggage. The city is on high alert in the wake of Friday's bombing and youth camp shooting that killed...

Oslo: When Anders Behring Breivik launched his assault on the youth campers of Utoya Island, he expected Norway's special forces to swoop down and stop him at any minute. Instead, Delta Force police officers made the 25-mile journey by car - they have no helicopter - then had to be rescued by a civilian craft when their boat broke down as it tried to navigate a one-minute hop to the...
