Norway puts Breivik on trial for murder
Anders Behring Breivik, who set off a bomb and massacred young people at a camp in Norway, is to go on trial in the capital Oslo, according to BBC.
He is accused of killing 77 people - eight in the car bomb attack in Oslo and the rest - mainly teenagers - at the camp, organized by the governing Labor party, on Utoeya Island.
He has confessed to the killings, but denies criminal responsibility.
He says the party is a "legitimate target" because it tolerates Muslims.
If the court declares Breivik criminally insane, he will be committed to psychiatric care, but if he is judged to be mentally stable, he will go to prison.
He faces a sentence of 12 years, which could be extended to keep him behind bars for the rest of his life.
