The man who carried out bomb and gun attacks in Norway last year which left 77 people dead has pleaded not guilty at the start of his trial in Oslo. Anders Behring Breivik attacked a youth camp organised by the governing Labour party on the island of Utoeya, after setting off a car bomb in the capital. He told the court he "acknowledged" the acts committed, but said he did not accept criminal responsibility. The prosecution earlier gave a detailed account of how each person was killed. If the court decides he is criminally insane, he will be committed to psychiatric care; if he is judged to be mentally stable, he will be jailed. In the latter case, he faces a sentence of 21 years, which could be extended to keep him behind bars for the rest of his life. The 33-year-old Norwegian was found insane in one examination, while a second assessment made public last week found him mentally competent.

Can this person be mentally incompetent or criminally insane:

Planning attacks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_...anning_attacks Breivik claims that he started a nine-year-plan to finance the attacks in 2002 (at age 23), founding his own computer programming business while working at the customer service company. He claims that his company grew to six employees and "several offshore bank accounts", and that he made his first million kroner at the age of 24.[49] The company was later declared bankrupt and Breivik was reported for several breaches of the law.[50] He then moved back to his mother's home, according to himself to save money. The psychiatrists who evaluated him said his mental health deteriorated at this stage and he went into a state of withdrawal and isolation.[51] His declared assets in 2007 were about 630,000 kr. ($116,410[44]), according to Norwegian tax authority figures.[46] He claims that by 2008 he had about two million kroner ($369,556[44]) and nine credit cards giving him access to €26,000 in credit.[49] In May 2009 he founded a farming company under the name "Breivik Geofarm",[52] described as a farming sole proprietorship set up to cultivate vegetables, melons, roots and tubers.[53] Also in 2009 he visited Prague in an attempt to buy illegal weapons. He was unable to obtain a weapon there, and Breivik decided to obtain weapons through legal channels in Norway instead.[54] He obtained one semi-automatic 9mm Glock 17 pistol legally by demonstrating his membership in a pistol club in the police application for a gun license, and the semi-automatic Ruger Mini-14 rifle by possessing a hunting license.[55] Breivik had no declared income in 2009 and his assets amounted to 390,000 kroner ($72,063[44]), according to Norwegian tax authority figures.[46] He states that in January 2010 his funds were "depleting gradually". On 23 June 2011, a month before the attacks, he paid the outstanding amount on his nine credit cards in order to have access to funds while he continued his preparations.[49] In late June or early July 2011, he moved to a rural area south of Åsta in Åmot, Hedmark county, about 140 km (87 mi) northeast of Oslo,[56] the site of his farm. As he admits in his manifesto he used the company as a cover to legally obtain large amounts of artificial fertiliser and other chemicals for the manufacturing of explosives.[56] A farming supplier sold Breivik's company six tonnes of fertiliser in May.[57] The newspaper Verdens Gang reported that after Breivik bought a small quantity of an explosive primer from an online shop in Poland, his name was among 60 passed to the Police Security Service (PST) by Norwegian Customs as having used the store to buy products. Speaking to the newspaper, Jon Fitje of PST said the information they found gave no indication of anything suspicious. In his manifesto Breivik described his first experiments with explosives, and details a successful test detonation at a remote location on 13 June 2011.[58] He sets the cost of the preparations for the attacks at € 317,000 – "130,000 out of pocket and 187,500 euros in lost revenue over three years." [sic][46] Breivik's farmer neighbour described him as looking like a "city dweller, who wore expensive shirts and who knew nothing about rural ways". Breivik had also covered up the windows of his house. The owner of a local bar, who once worked as a profiler of passengers' body language at Oslo airport, said there was nothing unusual about Breivik, who was an occasional customer at the bar.[59] .......... The introductory chapter of the manifesto defining "Cultural Marxism" is a copy of Political Correctness: A Short History of an Ideology by the Free Congress Foundation.[113][114][115] Major parts of the compendium are attributed to the pseudonymous Norwegian blogger Fjordman.[116] The text also copies sections of the Unabomber manifesto, without giving credit, while exchanging the words "leftists" for "cultural Marxists" and "black people" for "muslims".[117] The New York Times described American influences in the writings, noting that the compendium mentions the anti-Islamist American Robert Spencer 64 times and cites Spencer's works at great length.[118] The work of Bat Ye'or[119] is cited dozens of times.[120] Neoconservative blogger Pamela Geller,[121] Neo-pagan writer Koenraad Elst[122] and Daniel Pipes are also mentioned as sources of inspiration.[123] The manifesto further contains quotes from Thomas Jefferson and George Orwell,[124] as well as from Jeremy Clarkson's Sunday Times column and Melanie Phillips' Daily Mail column.[125] The publication speaks in admiration of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Bruce Bawer, Srđa Trifković,[126] and Henryk M. Broder.[127] The compendium advocates a restoration of patriarchy which it claims would save European culture.[128][129] In his writings Breivik states that he wants to see European policies on multiculturalism and immigration more similar to those of Japan and South Korea,[130] which he said are "not far from cultural conservatism and nationalism at its best".[131] He expressed his admiration for the "monoculturalism" of Japan and for the two nations' refusal to accept refugees.[132] ......... Following his apprehension, Breivik was characterized by analysts as being a right-wing extremist with anti-Muslim views and a hatred of Islam,[140][141] who considered himself as a knight dedicated to stemming the tide of Muslim immigration into Europe.[142][143] .......... The Jerusalem Post describes him as pro-Israel and strongly opposed to Islam, and asserts that his manifesto includes "extreme screed of Islamophobia" and "far-right Zionism".[16]
