Police in Norway are coming under growing criticism after it emerged that they could have stopped the shooting spree of Anders Behring Breivik much sooner.
Breivik killed 69 people during a massacre on July 22 on the island of Utoya which lasted 61 minutes in addition to killing another 8 people as part of a bomb attack in Oslo. He surrendered as soon as the police arrived on the island at 18:25.
Local police armed with machine guns and wearing protective body armour arrived at the camping site opposite the island of Utoya at 17:52 but stood and watched idly while Breivik carried out his shooting rampage, it has emerged.

According to the Norwegian broadcaster, NRK, there were plenty of private boats available to transport the police to the island, which was located only half a kilometers away.
But far from attempting to cross the 600 metres to the islands in the boats, the police even tried to stop tourists from going to the rescue of teenagers trying to swim to shore to escape being shot.
A German holiday maker Marcel Gleffe braved gunfire to make four to five trips on his motorboat to pull teenagers out of the water and he is credited with saving 30 lives. Gleffe said police stopped his rescue efforts when they arrived, telling him it was too dangerous.
The police gave as the reason for their decision not to cross to the island in spite of being so heavily armed and trained for just this kind of situation, the false information that there were seven gunmen on Utoya. This, even though campers who had made it to safety had confirmed there was only one gunman.
The local police arrived 25 minutes after receiving a call concerning the shooting rampage at 17: 27, and waited for reinforcements from the anti terrorism police unit.
A video shown on NRK shows a Delta anti terrorism police vehicle finally arriving at the camping site, stopping and then turning around and driving off to head further up the coast, to a boat site which was 3.6 kilometres away, so wasting at least another 15 minutes.
No explanation has been offered for why the police took this unnecessary detour.
Officers of the anti terrorism unit finally got into a rubber boat which was too small and sprang a leak, forcing the police to commandeer two private boats to get to the island.
An amateur video shows the bizarre attempt to cross to the island by professionally trained police forces and at a time when every minute counted.

The Delta police unit used a vehicle to go to the scene of the shooting in spite of the availability of a military helicopter. A military helicopter which had transport victims from the Oslo bombing to hospitals was available for use immediately.
The police gave as the reason for not using the helicopter the need for an overhaul or refurbishment to make it more purpose fit. The crew of the police helicopter were all on holiday.
In addition, it has emerged that Breivik – who was dressed in a police uniform – called the police ten times offering to surrender to the authorities.
Police officials released transcripts of two phone calls on the request of Breivik’s lawyer.
One call was made at 18:01 or half an hour before the shooting spree was ended when police finally arrived at the island.
In a second call at 18:26 Breivik asks to be transferred to “Delta’s operations leader”. Breivik says that he has completed his mission on behalf of the European Knight’s Templar organisation.

How did Breivik know that the head of the Delta police unit was the one which was, in fact, assigned to capture him if he did not have insider information?
Why do the Norwegian police continue to maintain that Breivilk was a lone wolf when he himself stated that he was working for the well known Knights Templer organisation?
Why did the Delta anti terrorism unit take 61 minutes to get to the island when they could have used a helicopter to make the journey in ten minutes?
The police and government clearly prefer the narrative of a loner who planned and carried out the massacre on his own or with accomplices which will fit in with the “right-wing Christian extremist” narrative, allowing authorities to target critics of bank bailouts and repressive government, and they are manipulating the evidence accordingly.
It does not suit the official narrative that Breivik had accomplices – and that all the evidence points to these being inside the police and government. Breivik clearly had qualms about killing so many young people in cold blood and tried to shorten the mission by calling his contact in the police to surrender. But his handlers apparently wanted the biggest possible number of deaths to stir up public outrage and ram through their agenda or repression.
Evidence suggests that the police went out of their way to find reasons not to reach the island to stop the massacre until the body count had reached a staggering 77 young people.
However, the scandal concerning the massacre on Utoya is now engulfing the police itself with mounting criticism of their actions in the media and among general public.
In an attempt to prevent scrutiny of the shocking incident, the government has postponed the trial of Breivik for a year – and it cannot be ruled out that Breivik will be “shot” in a “Jack Ruby shoots Lee Harvey Oswald” style incident to silence him if his fixers think that he might give too much information away.
The way police routinely stand aside to allow violence to spiral out of control to justify a crack down on freedom of speech was underlined by the events surrounding the UK riots.
The parallels with the UK riots and the Brevik massacres are startling. Both were only possible because of police inaction.
It was police inaction which led to a situation where thugs were able to rampage through London burning houses, murdering people and looting.
It has emerged that the UK police were ordered to stand down, so allowing the violence to intensify. Instead of firing the police officers responsible for such a catastrophic security lapse, the UK government has launched a crackdown on free speech and protests.
The corruption endemic in the police force was highlighted by a parliamentary inquiry, which revealed some of shadowy links between police officers, the media empire of Rupert Murdoch and politicians, including David Cameron. In Norway, there is now clear evidence of elements inside the government and police conspiring to engineer police inaction in an extreme security situations to facilitate the murder of citizens in order to justify restricting civic rights.
