hackers target Norway killer Breivik's emails

The local group, led by a 17-year-old named Frederik, said it obtained access to two email accounts used by the anti-Muslim extremist and uncovered details about his contacts and private life.

It then passed the information to Norwegian freelance journalist Kjetil Stormark, who handed it to police investigating the killing last month of 77 people in bomb and shooting attacks.

"The mails show some of the activity and contacts made by the perpetrator in the weeks and months leading up to the terror attacks. They also tell a tale about his private life," Mr Stormark said, without giving further detail.

Police are looking into the 32-year-old's claims that he was acting as part of an international anti-Islamic terrorist organisation when he carried out a bomb attack in Oslo and a subsequent shooting spree on the Norwegian Labour Party youth camp on Utoya island on July 22.

But prosecutor Christian Hatlo said this week that after 40 hours of questioning police are fairly certain he acted alone. They have interviewed his sister in Los Angeles and examined his computer and mobile telephone records but so far found little evidence of contact with other right-wing extremists who may have helped or influenced him. "Nothing supports suspicion about other cells (being involved), rather the opposite," Mr Hatlo said.

He added that police have been able to verify much of what Breivik told them about the attacks, and that they had not discovered "any direct lie, yet."
"That is also why we, with a certain confidence, can say that he was alone, but I have to emphasise that we have not concluded yet," Mr Hatlo said.
