ANDERS Behring Breivik told a Norwegian court that his bomb attack and island shooting rampage was aimed at saving Europe from a Muslim takeover, warning he was working with two other cells. Judge Kim Heger ordered the 32-year-old to be remanded in custody for eight weeks - the first four in solitary confinement - following a closed-door hearing that took place under tight security.
Police have revised the number of people - mostly teenagers - killed on the island down to 68, but stressed the toll could still increase.
Police also increased the number of confirmed deaths from the bomb attack to eight.
Breivik was yesterday charged with acts of terrorism.
He did not plead guilty, saying it was necessary to save Norway and Western Europe from a "Muslim takeover".
Breivik accused Norway's ruling Labour Party of a "mass import of Muslims" and said he aimed to hinder future recruitment.
Despite earlier claims that he had acted as a lone gunman, Breivik said he worked in an organisation with two more cells, the judge said.
There are now calls for Norway to reinstate the death penalty. The country's maximum prison sentence is 21 years, which can be extended if a prisoner is deemed a risk to the public,
The Wall Street Journal reported.
Breivik's father says his son should have killed himself.
"I don't feel like his father," he is reported as saying.
"How could he just stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that what he did was OK?"
He told the Swedish newspaper
Expressen: "He should have taken his own life, too. That's what he should have done."
