Des liens entre Anders Behring Breivik et la Grande-Bretagne?

A hunt for possible British accomplices of the mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik is under way after it emerged that he began his deadly “crusade” after meeting other Right-wing extremists in London.

Scotland Yard counter-terrorism officers are now trying to establish whether Breivik visited London in recent years and whether he was part of a wider network preparing to carry out similar attacks.
He said he regarded himself as a successor to the medieval Knights Templar, and claimed to have been recruited at a meeting in London in April 2002, which was hosted by two English extremists and attended by eight people in total.
He also spoke of being in touch with the far-Right English Defence League and made repeated references to British politicians, including Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, who were blamed for making London a global hub of Islamic terrorism.
The EDL issued a statement saying: “We can categorically state that there has never been any official contact between him and the EDL.”
Breivik even harboured ambitions of acquiring a nuclear weapon to hold Western governments to ransom and discussed the merits of using biological and chemical weapons to kill up to two million people.

Dans son manifeste, il affirme faire partie d'un plus vaste réseau implanté dans l'Europe de l'Ouest, rapporte le Daily Telegraph. Des cellules prêtes à suivre son exemple et à renverser des gouvernements tolérants envers l'islam. Pour la chaîne de télévision TV2, il y a donc "des raisons de croire que la police en France, en Allemagne, en Grèce, aux Pays-Bas et en Russie étudient de près les déclarations de Breivik". Selon le manifeste, des citoyens de ces pays étaient en effet présents à la réunion de Londres, explique TV2.

Alors que la presse britannique souligne la menace sous-estimée des "loups solitaires", ces terroristes individuels, le Daily Mail commente : "Le nombre de morts impressionnant accroît la pression sur la police, qui est déjà consciente du danger d'[une éventuelle] fusillade sanglante dans la préparation des Jeux olympiques."
