Norway police won’t request continued isolation for confessed mass killer

[pampango]

Norwegian police will no longer insist that confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik be held in isolation as he awaits trial on terror charges for July attacks that killed 77 people, a spokesman for the investigation said Thursday.

Police attorney Christian Hatlo said investigators are increasingly confident that the right-wing extremist had no accomplices when he set off a bomb in Oslo’s government district and opened fire at a political youth camp outside the capital.

In a 1,500-page manifesto posted online before the attacks, Breivik called for a revolution to purge Europe of Muslims and punish politicians who have embraced immigration.

But Hatlo said police have found no evidence to support Breivik’s claims that he belongs to a network of modern-day crusaders opposed to multiculturalism, and that two other cells are ready to strike.

1. This ending of solitary confinement doesn't go far enough.

Put him in with the general prison population and see how he gets along. ;-)
