Norway mass killer charged with murder, terror acts

None

The anti-Islam militant whose bomb attack and shooting massacre shocked Norway last summer was formally charged on Wednesday with terrorism and the premeditated murder of 77 people as officials prepared for a trial to start next month.

 

Prosecutors said they would initially seek a sentence of psychiatric care for the admitted killer but might demand 21 years in prison -- Norway's nominal maximum - if an initial diagnosis of psychosis is contradicted in a second examination. (Reuters)
