"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary."

"He wanted a change in society and, from his perspective, he needed to force through a revolution. He wished to attack society and the structure of society.”

Says the lawyer for Anders Behring Breivik, who murdered at least 93 persons in Norway last Friday.

The judge said Mr. Breivik had been charged under criminal law with “acts of terrorism,” including an attempt to “disturb or destroy the functions of society, such as the government” and to spread “serious fear” among the population.

Mr. Breivik was ordered to be held for the next eight weeks, the first four in solitary confinement. He told police what there were “two further cells in our organization,” reporters were told.

If a person acted alone but wanted to spread "serious fear," he'd have reason to say that there was an "organization" with various "cells."

In testimony, Mr. Heger said, Mr. Breivik had said he “believes that he needed to carry out these acts to save Norway” and western Europe from “cultural Marxism and Muslim domination.”...

The judge said Mr. Breivik had wished to “give a sharp signal” and inflict “the worst possible loss” on the Labor Party, accusing it of failing to prevent a “mass importing of Muslims” into Norway.
