British suspects to be quizzed over Oslo deaths

Norwegian police will question several British citizens in their search for potential accomplices of confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik.

Prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby said the names were mentioned when police questioned British anti-Muslim blogger Paul Ray last week.

Investigators say they haven’t yet found any evidence that Breivik had any accomplices, but don’t rule out the possibility.

The British citizens will be questioned in Norway or in Britain, he said.

Breivik was questioned again on Wednesday about the Oslo bombing and shooting spree on 22 July in which he killed 77 people.

The questioning was focused on Breivik’s anti-immigration manifesto, his alleged links to a group called the Knights Templar and potential ties to Britain, Mr Hjort Kraby said.

Breivik claims he carried out the attacks as part of a network of modern-day crusaders – the Knights Templar – to launch a revolution against a Europe spoiled by Muslim immigration. Mr Ray, an Englishman who writes an anti-Muslim blog, has said he was one of the founders of the Knights Templar, but claims he doesn’t know Breivik.
