Norway killer intended to target former PM Brundtland

The man who bombed Norway's capital and gunned down Labor Party youths on an island, killing at least 93, told police he intended to target former Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, Oslo newspaper Aftenposten said.

Brundtland, who led three Labor Party governments in the 1980s and 1990s and is often called "mother of the nation", gave a speech on the island the day of the slaughter and left before Anders Behring Breivik arrived. (Reuters)
