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 Labour Party youth camp.

On Saturday they returned to the island for the first time, a day before a national day of remembrance in Norway.

"I went back to the place where I got shot", Pracon told Reuters.  "The first thing I did was to sit down, quietly and I cried for a long time. I cried for the people I saw killed there.  I laid flowers and lit candles for them."

Pracon came face to face with the killer several times on July 22. During one encounter, he saw him coming out of the woods and shooting at people.

"He was shouting that he was going to kill us all," said Pracon. "He turned towards me. You feel trapped, like you have no place to go or that there is nothing you can do. You just hope that he is going to shoot in the head, in the heart to make it go fast. All I could say was: 'Don't shoot'."

"I remember him pointing the machine gun at me for quite a long time before he took it down, turned and walked away."

TERROR ON NORWAY: Breivik 'Filmed' Norway Island Massacre!

Breivik is also suspected of planting a bomb near government buildings in Oslo.

Norwegian terror suspect Anders Behring Breivik may have filmed his massacre of 69 people on Utoya island, Norwegian police have said.

The claim comes amid a series of revelations about the killings, with police admitting they could have taken a much quicker route to the island.

Oslo police chief of staff Johan Fredriksen also conceded officers could have called on a rescue helicopter.

But he denied claims the aircraft could have transported snipers in time to make a difference or that it would have ensured a faster arrival on the island for specialist terror police.

Oslo police lawyer Christian Hatlo said Breivik had made references to having filmed his entire 72-minute killing spree.

The shootings came just hours after a bomb blast in the capital he is also suspected of, which left 10 people dead.

An undated image on Facebook shows the 32-year-old suspected attacker, whom local media identified as Anders Behring Breivik - Agence France-Presse/Getty Images.

OSLO—Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian man accused of carrying out one of the worst massacres in Europe since World War II, has taken responsibility for the rampage, telling his lawyer that the killings were "atrocious" but "necessary."

The Friday attacks, including the bombing of a government building in Oslo and a shooting spree at a political youth camp on a nearby island, left at least 93 people dead in what authorities describe as a deranged attempt to declare war on the forces of multiculturalism and pluralism that have taken hold in this small Scandinavian country.

Police on Sunday continued to follow leads that others were involved in the attacks and local media reported that authorities were searching a house in Oslo in connection with the case.

Norway's ruling, center-left Labor Party, which has long championed the benefits of immigration and multiculturalism, appeared to be the primary target of the attack.

Norway, a rural country of 4.6 million roughly the size of New Mexico, has little recent history of political extremism, much less violence, and the attacks are fueling concern across Europe that the anti-immigrant underswell that has swept the Continent in recent years could metastasize into violence, suddenly and unexpectedly.

Unlike other Scandinavian countries, including Sweden and Denmark, Norway doesn't have a mainstream far-right party. Mr. Breivik was once a member of Norway's conservative Progress Party, the country's second-largest political party after the Labor Party. The Progress Party, which sought to distance itself from Mr. Breivik, has taken a hard line on immigration in the past but is less extreme than the populist antiforeigner parties that have taken hold elsewhere in Scandinavia.

Mr. Breivik "has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," Geir Lippestad, Mr. Breivik's lawyer, told independent TV2 news.

TERROR ON NORWAY: Gunman's background puzzles police!

Agencies / The Hindu / SUNDVOLLEN, NORWAY, July 23, 2011.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, back to camera third left, comforts teenagers who were attending a Labour Party camp on the Utoya island, at the Sunvold Hotel, Sundvollen, Norway on Saturday - AP.

The 32-year-old suspected of massacring at least 92 young people at a summer camp and setting off a bomb in downtown Oslo that killed at least seven is a mystery to investigators — a right-winger with anti-Muslim views but no known links to hardcore extremists.

“He just came out of nowhere,” a police official told The Associated Press.

Public broadcaster NRK and several other Norwegian media identified the suspect as Anders Behring Breivik, a blond and blue-eyed Norwegian who expressed right-wing and anti-Muslim views on the Internet.

News agency NTB said Breivik legally owned several firearms and belonged to a gun club. He ran an agricultural firm growing vegetables, an enterprise that could have helped him secure large amounts of fertilizer, a potential ingredient in bombs. But he didn't belong to any known factions in Norway's small and splintered extreme right movement, and had no criminal record except for some minor offences, the police official told AP.

“He hasn't been on our radar, which he would have been if was active in the neo-Nazi groups in Norway,” he said. “But he still could be inspired by their ideology.” Neo-Nazi groups carried out a series of murders and robberies in Scandinavia in the 1990s but have since kept a low profile.

“They have a lack of leadership. We have pretty much control of those groups,” said the police official.

National police chief Sveinung Sponheim told public broadcaster NRK that the gunman's Internet postings “suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but whether that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen.”

A Facebook page under Breivik's name was taken down late Friday. A Twitter account under his name had only one Tweet, on July 17, loosely citing English philosopher John Stuart Mill — “One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests.”

Police were interrogating the man, first at the scene of the shooting, and later at a police station in Oslo.

Though not impossible but, not-inconceivable that a lone-ranger was able to set off a massive blast in Oslo as well as massacred 92 young people at Utoya island, but quite possible as he appears to believe the above quote of John Stuart Mill!
