The 32-year-old Norwegian man who allegedly went on a shooting spree on the island of Utoya has been identified as Anders Behring Breivik, according to multiple reports. 
 
 The Daily Mail and Sky News were among those to report the suspect's name. According to witnesses, the gunman was dressed as a police officer and gunned down young people as they ran for their lives at a youth camp. 
 
 Police said Friday evening that they've linked the youth camp shooting and Oslo bombing. Breivik is believed to have acted alone. 
 
 Norwegian TV2 reports that Breivik belongs to "right-wing circles" in Oslo. Swedish news site Expressen adds that he has been known to write to right-wing forums in Norway, is a self-described nationalist and has also written a number of posts critical of Islam. 
 
 A Twitter account for Breivik has surfaced, though it only has one post, this quote from philosopher John Stuart Mill: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100 000 who have only interests." The tweet was posted on July 17. 
 
 On a Facebook account that Norwegian media outlets have attributed to Breivik, he describes himself as having Christian, conservative views. He says he enjoys hunting, the games World of Warcraft and Modern Warfare 2, and lives in Oslo. He also lists political analysis and stock analysis as interests. ||||| (CNN) -- As Norway struggles to come to terms with its greatest loss of life in decades, all eyes are on the man charged in the explosion in central Oslo and the deadly shooting rampage at a youth camp. 
 
 While police have not officially named him, Norwegian television and newspaper reports have identified the suspect as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, of Norwegian origin. 
 
 A picture is emerging, gleaned from official sources and social media, of a right-wing Christian fundamentalist who may have had an issue with Norway's multi-cultural society. 
 
 Norwegian and international news outlets have run photographs of a blond man with blue-green eyes and chiseled features, dressed in a preppy style. 
 
 A victim who was shot during the attack at the youth camp on Utoya island told CNN Saturday that he had seen pictures of Breivik taken from what is believed to be his Facebook page and shown on NRK and TV2. The victim said he recognized the man from the news reports as the gunman. 
 
 Breivik is a member of the Oslo Pistol Club and has three weapons registered in his name, according to leading Norwegian newspaper VG, citing Norway's official weapons register. They are a Glock pistol, a rifle and a shotgun, VG reported. 
 
 NRK reports that Breivik does not have a military background and was exempt from Norway's mandatory military service. He has not had any special military training, it adds on its website. 
 
 He was a youth and adult member of the conservative Fremskrittspartiet (FrP) or Progress Party, VG newspaper reports, remaining involved until 2007. The party's most prominent manifesto pledge is to minimize immigration. 
 
 His membership was confirmed by a senior party member, Jonas Kallmyr, who is quoted by VG as saying that encountering Breivik was "like meeting Hitler before World War II." 
 
 The leader of the Progress Party, Siv Jensen, told Norwegian broadcaster TV2 News she was "horrified" to learn that the suspect was a former member of her party. 
 
 "But this is first and foremost an attack against the entire nation. It has affected all of us," she said, saying that her party members stood in solidarity with the youth movement of the Labour Party. 
 
 A post in Breivik's name on an online forum, Document.no, from December 2009, talks about non-Muslim teenagers being "in an especially precarious situation with regards to being harassed by Islamic youth." 
 
 "I know of many hundred occasions where non-Muslims have been robbed, beaten up and harassed by Islamic gangs," the post reads. "I had a best friend between the ages of 12-17 who was a Pakistani, so I was one of the many protected, cool 'potatoes' that had protection. But this also made me see the hypocrisy up close and personal and made me nauseous." 
 
 Such anti-Islamic sentiment is nothing new in Norway or other European nations, where there has been resistance against increasing numbers of Muslims and their practices. 
 
 About 3% of Norway's population in 2010 -- 144,000 people -- were Muslim, but that was expected to more than double to 6.5% over the next 20 years, according to a report released earlier this year by The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. That is one of the largest percentage increases in Muslim populations across all of Europe, thanks in part to fertility rates significantly higher than those of non-Muslims. 
 
 Another post in Breivik's name in October 2009 advises "Hans", described as the founder of Document.no, to "develop an alternative to the violent extreme Norwegian Marxist organisations Blitz, SOS Rasisme and Rod Ungdom" -- all left-wing movements in Norway. 
 
 "The conservatives dare not openly express their viewpoints in public because they know that the extreme Marxists will trump them. We cannot accept the fact that the Labour Party is subsidising these violent "Stoltenberg jugend", who are systematically terrorising the politically conservative," the post reads. 
 
 He is making a reference to the youth movement of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who heads the Labour Party. 
 
 A Twitter account attributed to Breivik by Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten has only one message, dated July 17. "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who has only interests," it says, adapting a quote from 19th-century British philosopher John Stuart Mill. 
 
 Police have not ruled out the possibility that other people may have helped the suspect. 
 
 "The official questioning is starting now," Roger Andresen, a police official, told reporters during a news conference Saturday. 
 
 The suspect was cooperating with police, making it clear he wanted to explain himself, Andresen said. 
 
 Norway's police website said the suspect is currently charged with breaking paragraph 147a of the penal code -- a terrorism offense, with a maximum sentence of 21 years. 
 
 The statement said he was charged in both the Utoya attack and the bombing of government buildings in Oslo, and that the charges might change. "The suspect has never been arrested by the police before," it said. 
 
 Two addresses connected to the suspect are being searched, police said. One of them is believed to be an apartment in Oslo and the other a farm in Hedmark. 
 
 NRK reports that Breivik is registered as having run a company that produced "vegetables, melons, roots and tubers" -- an industry which allows access to large amounts of fertilizer, the broadcaster notes, which can be used for explosives. 
 
 An employee at a Norwegian agricultural cooperative told CNN that the man identified in media reports as the suspect in Friday's attacks bought six tons of fertilizer from her company in May. 
 
 Oddmy Estenstad, of Felleskjopet Agr, said she did not think the order was strange at the time because the suspect has a farm, but after the Oslo attack she called police because she knew the material can be used to make bombs. 
 
 "We are very shocked that this man was connected to our company," said Estenstad. "We are very sad about what happened." 
 
 More details on the man are sure to emerge in the coming hours and days. But what many Norwegians find hard to comprehend is that the chief suspect in the massacre appears to be one of their own. 
 
 Stoltenberg stressed that whoever was behind the attacks must be dealt with properly. 
 
 "It is very important that those who are responsible -- one or several persons -- are sentenced according to Norwegian law, in the Norwegian system of justice," he said. 
 
 "Norway is a small country but it is a proud country. We are all very close, especially in times like this." 
 
 CNN's Laura Smith-Spark and Cynthia Wamwayi contributed to this report. ||||| Norwegian massacre gunman was a right-wing extremist who hated Muslims

 Posted on Twitter: 'One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests' 
 
 Farm business gave him easy access to fertiliser - an ingredient used in bomb-making 
 
 Police say he is a 'very demanding suspect' 
 
 
 
 Suspect: Norwegian media reported that Anders Behring Breivik has been arrested 
 
 The man responsible for the massacre in Norway was a member of a Swedish nazi forum which encourages attacks on government buildings. 
 
 It was also revealed by local police that he had extreme right wing views who hated Muslims. 
 
 
 
 According to Swedish website Expo Anders Behring Breivik is a member of 'Nordisk' which has 22,000 members and focuses on political terrorism. 
 
 
 
 Officers also found a series of raving internet posts by the 32-year-old, who has been charged with two counts of terrorism after gunning down children on the island of Utoya and detonating a bomb in Oslo yesterday. 
 
 
 
 Media reports in Norway described Breivik as a 'loner', who lived with his mother in a wealthy suburb of west Oslo, was well-educated and enjoyed hunting. 
 
 Only a few days ago he set up a Twitter account and posted a single message: 'One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests'. 
 
 It is attributed to the English philosopher John Stuart Mill, whose concept of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. 
 
 
 
 The account appears to have only been set up a few days ago. 
 
 
 
 On his Facebook profile, Breivik describes himself as a Christian and a conservative. 
 
 
 
 It also listed interests such as body-building and freemasonry. 
 
 
 
 Breivik is believed to have grown up in Oslo, and studied at the Oslo School of Management. 
 
 He later appears to have moved out of the city and established Breivik Geofarm, a company believed to be an organic farm. 
 
 Arrested: Anders Behring Breivik callously opened fire on groups of teenagers on the island of Utoya 
 
 Suspect: Further photographs of Anders Behring Breivik, such as this one where he is carrying a weapon, have emerged 
 
 It specialised in melons and root vegetables. There is speculation among the media in Norway that this may have allowed him easy access to fertiliser, an ingredient used in bomb-making . 
 
 Along with the farm, he also appears to own a flat in Oslo. Breivik had no military background except for ordinary national service and no criminal record. 
 
 It is thought that the 32-year-old is a former member of Labour's opposition youth party, Fremskrittspartiet. 
 
 Police at the home of Breivik, a farm at Ostre Asta near Oslo, where he allegedly planned the entire massacre 
 
 He is reported to have attended the same Smestad primary school as Norway's crown prince. 
 
 He is later said to have attended schools in Oslo's Gaustad and the Handelsgymnasium. 
 
 Classmate Michael Tomola, who knew Breivik from the age of 13 to 16, said: 'He was rather introverted at school, even though he was a good student. I'm very surprised by this. I had a good impression, although he became very engaged in subjects he cared for. He got very extreme about things he cared for.' 
 
 According the website Atlantic.com, Breivik expressed extremist Islamophobic views on forums and criticised immigration policies. 
 
 He argued on a Swedish news website that the media were not critical enough about Islam and claimed that Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom in the Netherlands was the only 'true' party of conservatives. 
 
 Web: Breivik's sole tweet, posted last week, is attributed to the English philosopher John Stuart Mill - whose concept of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control 
 
 He said that socialism was breaking down traditions, culture, national identity and other societal structures and that this in turn made society weak and confused. 
 
 He claimed to admire the Norwegian Second World War hero Max Manus, a highly decorated sailor who was an expert in sinking Nazi ships. 
 
 It has also been reported he boasted about conversations with unnamed members of the far-right English Defence League and the organisation Stop the Islamification of Europe. 
 
 He is said to have spoken to them about the success of provocative street actions leading to violence. 
 
 It is claimed he wrote on a blog two years ago: 'I have on some occasions had discussions with SIOE and EDL and recommended them to use certain strategies. 
 
 'The tactics of the EDL are now to 'lure' an overreaction from the Jihad Youth/Extreme-Marxists, something they have succeeded in doing several times already.' 
 
 
 
 Breivik's Facebook profile listed his favourite books as The Trial by Franz Kafka and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. 
 
 His favourite TV show was named as Dexter - a series about a Miami police forensics expert who moonlights as a serial killer of criminals whom he believes have escaped justice. 
 
 
 
 Police officer Roger Andresen said today: 'He is clear on the point that he wants to explain himself.' 
 
 Andersen said the suspect posted on websites with Christian fundamentalist tendencies. He did not describe the websites in any more details. 
 
 Crime scene: The 32-year-old Norwegian is said to have used this white van to drive onto the island of Utoya 
 
 National police chief Sveinung Sponheim said he was talking to them and has admitted to firing weapons on the island. 
 
 
 
 It was not clear if he had confessed to anything else he is accused of. Police said he retained a lawyer, who did not want to be named 
 
 
 
 'He has had a dialogue with the police the whole time, but he's a very demanding suspect,' Sponheim said. 
 
 He also told public broadcaster NRK that the suspected gunman's Internet postings 'suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen'. 
 
 Six foot tall and blond Breivik is reported to have arrived on the island of Utoya dressed as a policeman and opened fire after beckoning several young people over in his native Norwegian tongue. 
 
 Reports suggest he was also seen loitering around the site of the bomb blast in Oslo two hours before the island incident. 
 
 Suspect: The 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik, who has been arrested after the attacks 
 
 Police said later that the suspect had right-wing and anti-Muslim views, but the motive for the attacks was unclear. 
 
 The Norwegian daily Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying he became a rightwing extremist in his late 20s. It said he expressed strong nationalistic views in online debates and had been a strong opponent of the idea that people of different cultural backgrounds can live alongside each other. 
 
 An official said the gunman used both automatic weapons and handguns, and that there was at least one unexploded device at the youth camp that a police bomb disposal team and military experts were working on disarming. 
 
 Some 92 are believed to have been killed - seven in Oslo and 84 on Utoya Island, 50 miles north of the capital. 
 
 Initially it was not known what were the motives of the gunman and architect of the car bomb - whether they or the single person had been radicalised and was part of a militant Muslim group waging Jihad or was trying to further a home-grown political cause. 
 
 But it now appears Breivik was behind both attacks, a fact that it took police hours to realise as the mayhem ensued. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The incidents come as social tensions with Norway heighten in recent months over the country’s perceived stance on Islamic issues. 
 
 Fatal: Seven people were killed in the Oslo bomb blast (pictured) 
 
 Though a long-standing Nato member, Norway has not attracted many enemies because it has tended to stay out of international conflicts. 
 
 However, it has recently increased its military presence in Muslim countries such as Afghanistan or Libya, a move bound to anger fanatics. 
 
 There was anger among some of the 150,000 Muslims living in Norway when a newspaper reproduced the controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in January last year. 
 
 Last night ‘Helpers of the Global Jihad’ posted a message on the internet claiming the bombing was ‘only the beginning’ of the retaliation over the cartoons. 
 
 But this has been dismissed by some commentators as a publicity stunt. 
 
 
 
 Other Scandinavian countries have faced radical Islamic attacks in the past. 
 
 Violence erupted in Denmark after a newspaper published a cartoon of the Prophet wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb in 2005. 
 
 And last December an Islamic suicide bomber, who was radicalised in Britain, set off a bomb in Stockholm. 
 
 Police would not speculate on who was responsible for the attack or whether international groups were involved. 
 
 But the country is also in the midst of grappling with a homegrown terror plot linked to al-Qaeda. 
 
 
 
 Two suspects are in jail awaiting charges. 
 
 
 
 Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he is deported from the Scandinavian country. 
 
 
 
 The indictment centred on statements that Mullah Krekar - the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam - made to various news media, including American network NBC. 
 
 
 
 Jihadist groups have also made recent threats to Norway over plans to expel Mullah Krekar, the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam. 
 
 Norway's support of NATO's mission in Libya also earned it enemies, Bob Ayers, a former U.S. intelligence officer, told AP. 
 
 'Norwegians are in Afghanistan. They're in Tripoli. They reprinted the cartoons,' he said. 
 
 
 
 Many intelligence analysts said they had never heard of Helpers of Global Jihad, which took initial credit. Ansar al-Islam also took credit on some jihadist web sites. 
 
 
 
 And Ayers said it appeared more than one person was involved. 
 
 Wrecked: The blast in Oslo was outside a government office 
 
 Asked at a press conference in Tripoli about Libya's reaction to the events in Oslo, government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said, 'We never support any acts of terrorism whatsoever.' 
 
 
 
 But he suggested NATO's policies could have prompted the attack, saying, 'NATO is planting terrorism in the hearts of many. This is unfortunate and sad.' 
 
 
 
 Authorities in Norway and other Scandinavian countries have focused on anti-terrorism tactics that frustrate countries like the U.S. that are more aggressive about making arrests. 
 
 
 
 Scandinavian authorities fight terrorism by disrupting plots, sometimes telling suspects they know what they're up to, and warning them of the consequences. 
 
 
 
 Terror convictions are also difficult to get because of scepticism in Scandinavian courts toward cases built on intent - as most terrorism trials are - and a demand for more evidence than in the U.S. and many other places. 
 
 
 
 Europe has been the target of numerous terror plots by Islamist militants. 
 
 
 
 The deadliest was the 2004 Madrid train bombings, when shrapnel-filled bombs exploded, killing 191 people and wounding about 1,800. 
 
 
 
 A year later, suicide bombers killed 52 rush-hour commuters in London aboard three subway trains and a bus. 
 
 
 
 And in 2006, U.S. and British intelligence officials thwarted one of the largest plots yet - a plan to explode nearly a dozen trans-Atlantic airliners. 
 
 
 
 In October, the U.S. State Department advised American citizens living or travelling in Europe to take more precautions following reports that terrorists may be plotting attacks on a European city. 
 
 
 
 Some countries went on heightened alert after the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden. 
 
 
 
 Intelligence analysts said they doubted the attack was linked to bin Laden's death. 
 
 ||||| As the death toll mounts in the most horrific violence Norway has seen since World War II, local police have arrested the suspected perpetrator of both the bombing and the shooting at a children's summer camp. His name is Anders Behring Breivik, a 32-year-old man reportedly spotted at the scene of the bombing. Police believe he was acting alone. 
 
 According to multiple news reports in Norway and Sweden, Brievik belonged to Oslo's extreme right wing. He was a frequent poster in Norwegian right-wing online forums, the accounts said, and had two guns registered to his name. He also appears to have launched a social media presence just days before the attacks. 
 
 In Breivik's Facebook account, now removed, the suspect identifies himself as a Christian conservative. However, that was far from his only interest. Breivik also listed himself as a fan of World of Warcraft, Modern Warfare 2, bodybuilding and stock analysis. The account, which appeared to have only been started last week, was mostly filled with music videos. Breivik, who listed himself as single, said he had completed "3,000 hours of study in micro and macro finance, religion." 
 
 Breivik appears to have started a Twitter account on the same day as he launched his Facebook presence, July 17. The account, which has not been removed, has just one tweet to its name. It's a quote from the philosopher John Stuart Mill: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100 000 who have only interests." 
 
 The attacks may well have been politically motivated. The bombing took place outside a building where the Prime Minister, who wasn't present, has an office. And the purpose of the summer camp on the island of Utoya was to teach teenagers about politics.
– The snapshot emerging of 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, the suspect in Norway's twin attacks: He is a self-described nationalist who posted in extreme right forums in Norway. He often complained about Islam ("I know of many hundred occasions where non-Muslims have been robbed, beaten up and harassed by Islamic gangs" reads one sample) and Norway's immigration policy. He is thought to be a single, well-educated loner who lived with his mother in Oslo. He ran some kind of a farm, which gave him access to large amounts of fertilizer that could be used to make bombs. According to his now-removed Facebook profile, he likes Dexter, the video games World of Warcraft and Modern Warfare 2, body-building, and hunting. His favorite books are 1984 and Kafka's the Trial. His lone post on Twitter is a John Stuart Mill quote: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests." See more at CNN, Mashable, the Daily Mail, and the Huffington Post. (With the death toll approaching 100, police aren't ruling out a second shooter.)
