The camp was organised by the AUF, the youth wing of the ruling Norwegian Labour Party (Ap). Breivik, dressed in a homemade police uniform and showing false identification, arrived at the island claiming to be performing a routine check following the bombing. His presence raised the suspicions of the camp's organizer and subsequently a security guard, prompting Breivik to kill them both.Slik skaffet han politiuniformen http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/norge/1.7725557 NRK no How he obtained the uniform 24 July 2011Slik var Behring Breivik kledd for å drepe http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/11/20/nyheter/innenriks/terror/terrorangrepet/anders_behring_breivik/19084856/ Dagbladet no How Behring Breivik was dressed to kill 20 November 2011 He then opened fire at the participants, killing 69Terrorofrene på Utøya og i Oslo http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/ofre/ Verdens Gang Schibsted ASA no 29 July 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110909043438/http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/ofre/ 9 September 2011Navn på alle terrorofre offentliggjort http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/artikkel.php?artid=10080895 Verdens Gang Schibsted ASA 29 July 2011 no 27 September 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20111123175220/http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/artikkel.php?artid=10080895 23 November 2011 http://www.ostlendingen.no/nyheter/en-av-de-sarede-dode-pa-sykehuset-1.6381849 En av de sårede døde på sykehuset 24 July 2011 Østlendingen 25 July 2011 no One of the wounded died in hospital and injuring 33.

Breivik had several fake police badges printed to wear with a police uniform, which he had acquired illegally on the Internet, and which he later wore during the attack. Contrary to his expectations, he was unable to get any firearms in the Czech Republic, commenting that it was the "first major setback in [his] operation". In the end, he concluded that Prague was "far from an ideal city to buy guns", nothing like "what the BBC reported", and that he had felt "safer in Prague than in Oslo".https://t.tyden.cz/rubriky/zahranici/evropa/norsky-vrah-shanel-zbrane-i-u-motorkaru-v-praze_207777.html Praha je moc bezpečná, pušku tu neseženu, litoval norský zabiják Prague is too safe to get a rifle, regretted Norwegian killer Týden 24 July 2011 cs 22 November 2018 17 December 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191217053049/https://t.tyden.cz/rubriky/zahranici/evropa/norsky-vrah-shanel-zbrane-i-u-motorkaru-v-praze_207777.html deadhttp://www.ceskapozice.cz/en/news/society/oslo-killer-sought-weapons-prague%E2%80%99s-underworld Oslo killer sought weapons from Prague's underworld Czech Position 25 July 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110912110627/http://www.ceskapozice.cz/en/news/society/oslo-killer-sought-weapons-prague%E2%80%99s-underworld 12 September 2011 Arming in Norway and through the Internet Gun politics in Norway Originally, Breivik intended to try to obtain weapons in Germany or Serbia if his mission in Prague failed. The Czech disappointment led him to procure his weapons through legal channels. He decided to obtain a semi-automatic rifle and a Glock pistol legally in Norway, noting that he had a "clean criminal record, hunting license, and two guns (a Benelli Nova 12 gauge pump-action shotgun and a Weatherby Vanguard .308 bolt-action rifle) already for seven years", and that obtaining the guns legally should therefore not be a problem. Upon returning to Norway, Breivik originally wanted to purchase a 7.62×39mm Ruger Mini-30 semi-automatic carbine, because it fires the intermediate cartridge, identical to the calibre used by the AK-47 rifle. However, he encountered a strict legal and administrative hurdle; he already owned a .308 calibre bolt-action rifle. In his writing, he showed a fundamental misunderstanding of firearms ballistics, mistakenly believing that the 7.62×39mm and .308 Winchester were identical calibres and because Norwegian gun laws required strict justification for owning multiple firearms of the same calibre, he panicked. He feared that applying for a Ruger Mini-30 would look redundant on his paperwork. He worried that meticulous police clerks would spot the overlapping "caliber" sizes, reject his application, and subject him to a deeper background investigation that could unravel his entire plot.https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/norwegian-spree-killer-anders-behring-breivik-used-ruger-mini-14/ 6 August 2026 www.thetruthaboutguns.com Norwegian Spree Killer Anders Behring Breivik Used Ruger Mini-1418 August 2011 Norway shooting: quotes from Anders Behring Breivik's online manifesto https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8657727/Norway-shooting-quotes-from-Anders-Behring-Breiviks-online-manifesto.html live https://web.archive.org/web/20241201005557/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8657727/Norway-shooting-quotes-from-Anders-Behring-Breiviks-online-manifesto.html 1 December 2024 9 March 2025 The Telegraph To guarantee his application sailed through without raising red flags, Breivik obtained a legal permit for a .223-calibre Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic carbine, ostensibly for the purpose of hunting deer.24 July 2011 'Breivik manifesto' details chilling attack preparation https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14267007 live https://web.archive.org/web/20250119105414/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14267007 19 January 2025 9 March 2025 BBC News He bought it in late 2010 for €1,400.

He also bought 10 30-round magazines for the rifle from a United States supplier, and six magazines for the pistol (including four 30-round magazines) in Norway.

Later, in a Klassekampen article Moe said that "Many of the [local] inhabitants have described [...] the design as a violation, even a rape of nature [that is in place] at Sørbråten. Such is the intensity of how the memorial is being felt, that physical pain is felt merely by imagining having to face the memorial every day. The traumatised neighbors re-live the acts of terror through the brutal cut into the mountain slope... a reminder of who acted: Anders Behring Breivik. Here his misdeed is carved in stone. No wonder that fear lies in the reactions.... The baffling thing for the locals is this: ...but we were supposed to be honored – not re-traumatised. Why must this incurable memorial-wound be inflicted on us, so close to [our bodies or our] life". Furthermore, she said that "Long time was needed before the September 11 memorial place on Manhattan was in place.

The lawyer (from the architects' trade union) that accompanied Rønnestad there, said that KORO showed "a quite condescending attitude towards her". Other views regarding the case includes the view of Arve Rød, art critic of Dagbladet, saying about the sketches "The likeness is peculiar, and impossible to overlook. It is difficult not to conclude that these are two completely alike ideas, but I can not from that claim that Dahlberg has plagiarized the work of the two students"; he thinks that it is quite remarkable that [two] ideas, so alike, were found in the same contest and situation, in the same place and at the same time.
