French party suspends man over Oslo suspect praise

[Swede]

A member of France's far-right National Front has been suspended for posting words of support on his blog for Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who confessed to last week's Oslo massacres.

National Front spokesman Alain Vizier said Wednesday that Jacques Coutela has been suspended for writings that are "contrary to National Front policy."

Coutela's blog referred to Breivik as "an icon." He has since removed the post, with a note saying that "I denounce" Breivik's acts.
