Doubt cast on Norway gunman's claim of more cells

Breivik said collaborators were in 'Knights Templar' group that aimed to 'save' Europe

OSLO — Norway's police believe Anders Behring Breivik probably acted alone in killing 76 people last Friday, as Norwegians united in revulsion against the worst attack in the Nordic nation since World War II.

Breivik, who admitted to carrying out a bomb attack and shooting spree Friday, told a court on Monday that two cells of collaborators were in his "Knights Templar" group that aimed to "save" Europe from Muslims.

Police attorney Christian Hatlo told reporters on Monday he "cannot completely, and I stress completely, rule out that others were involved in what happened."

But police say privately that they think more cells are unlikely although security services are checking with their international partners about potential foreign links.

"We feel that the accused has fairly low credibility when it comes to this claim but none of us dare to be completely dismissive about it either," a source close to the investigation told Reuters.

Police are checking Breivik's phone and credit card records as well as his known movements to determine whether he was working alone.

Researchers also doubt Breivik's claim that he is part of a wider far-right network of anti-Islam "crusaders," seeing them as empty bragging by a psychopathic fantasist who has written that exaggeration is a way to sow confusion among investigators.

Magnus Ranstorp, Research Director at the Center for Asymmetric Threat Studies at the Swedish National Defense College, said, as far as he knows, nobody had evidence of the existence of the Knights Templar organization.

"There's no one who seems to know if the group exist or if it's something he made up," he told Reuters. "They (mass killers) are usually alone. He's extremely narcissistic and he goes on about himself and his role in history."

Ragnhild Bjoernebekk, a researcher at Norway's police school who specializes in crime and violence, said it's not inconceivable that Breivik was part of a network, but added: "The fact he wants to talk about it is surprising. Perhaps he wants to suggest that he is part of something bigger than himself," she said.
