According to witnesses, the man about 180 centimeters tall, had thick, dark hair and had a Nordic look. He had a pistol in his right hand and a rifle on his back, writes VG Nett.
- I am convinced that there were two people who shot, says Aleksander Stavdal, 23, told the newspaper.
This would go some way toward explaining the disparity in reports of the weapons used. People asked how Breivik had got to the island with a shotgun, machine pistol, and some kind of rifle, plus explosives, without anyone noticing - the answer, I thought, was that he had established weapons caches there some time in advance of the attack, as the plan in his manifesto stipulates. But another gunman, already there or arriving from a different (or the same) place would perhaps explain it better. Maybe.
Also, leading off from Mac's link:
He planned to film their attacks
In the 1517-page manifesto describes Anders Behring Breivik how best to plan a mass murder.
Here is how the bombs are manufactured. And he also recommends how everything must be documented - with a mini camera.
- I have tested it personally and it works very well, he writes.
That
is in the manifesto, as I mentioned earlier. So there could be film. I'll never watch it, but it might exist. Not that it'll convince the already convinced.
One of the more unusual sections describe how he plans to document the operation.
- AEE PD80 4GB Mini DV DVR Camera. This extremely small and lightweight camera used to document the operation. Four gigabytes is enough for two hours of continuous shooting, he writes.
Police would not comment.
He also writes that he plans to send the movie to the media as "may publish the uncensored" or to add it yourself on the Internet using a mobile phone.
It is not known whether Behring Breivik brought along a camera during the mass murder of Otöya or bombings in Oslo. Police have refused to comment on what they are convicted, in addition to a gun, a gun and police uniform, he was dressed in.
During Sunday evening's press conference the police refused to answer the question whether he documented attacks. They referred to the preliminary investigation is ongoing.
Somewhat shoddy translation. I hope he failed to film it, though, as he failed in so much else.*
*Yes, yes -
if he was the shooter, and
if Berwick is Breivick, and also
if his manifesto even approaches a real account of the build up to the crime, which it might not, and probably doesn't exactly, given the type of person he seems to be in it by his own account (if he is him).

Anyway, one way or another, we have all just witnessed the most violent book-launch in history.
"The universe is 40 billion light years across and every inch of it would kill you if you went there. That is the position of the universe with regard to human life."
