Norway's worst mass killer got the chance to explain his fanatical views to the court and the world, unrepentant and dressed in a business suit.
The 33-year-old far-right militant gave a rambling hour-long address to the court on Tuesday, reading from a statement that essentially summarized the 1,500-page anti-Islamic manifesto he posted online before his bomb-and-shooting rampage nine months ago.
"The attacks on July 22 were a preventive strike. I acted in self-defense on behalf of my people, my city, my country," Breivik declared, demanding to be found innocent of terror and murder charges. "I would have done it again."
Breivik even likened his attacks to the U.S. dropping atomic bombs on Japan to bring World War II to an end.
