Article
Anders Behring Breivik (born 13 February 1979) is a Norwegian neo-Nazi, mass murderer, and domestic terrorist who perpetrated the 2011 Norway attacks. A believer in the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, he sought to combat perceived "Cultural Marxism" by detonating a car bomb at the Regjeringskvartalet (executive government quarter) in Oslo, then carrying out a mass shooting at a summer camp of the Labour Party's youth wing on the island of Utøya, in total killing 77 people and injuring over 323.
Found competent to stand trial, Breivik was tried in 2012, convicted on all charges, and sentenced to the maximum civilian penalty of 21 years' imprisonment under preventive detention, extendable indefinitely if he is deemed a continuing danger.
