Breivik\'s mother \'shocked and devastated\' over son\'s crimes

The mother of Anders Behring Breivik, suspected of orchestrating Norway's twin terrorist attacks, is "shocked and devastated" over her son's violence and "does not understand that her son may have done these things," Swedish Expressen quoted Norwegian prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby as saying. Kraby said that Breivik's mother was interrogated shortly after the attacks on July 22 when eight people were killed in a bombing near Oslo's government headquarters and almost 70 were massacred at a youth camp on Utoya Island. "She does not understand that her son may have done these things," Kraby told Expressen, adding that the woman was offered psychological aid. Breivik, 32, has admitted to carrying out the attacks, but he has not accepted criminal responsibility, however, saying his actions were "atrocious but necessary" measures intended to "save Norway and Western Europe" from a "Muslim takeover." If found guilty, he could face up to 30 years in prison. Breivik is being in solitary confinement. He is banned from meeting with relatives or making any correspondence. There are several pages on Facebook, created to support Breivik's mother. One of them, For Behring's Mom & family, which has over 70,000 members, says: "You should know what we think of you, you are also one of the relatives. You are also one of the victims, you are also one of those that must be treated with more care, more love and thoughtfulness." Breivik's father, Jens Breivik, 76, who had no contact with his son since Anders was 15 years old, recently told Norwegian channel TV2 that he never wanted to see his son again and that his son should have committed suicide.
