Over 100,000 Gather In Oslo To Mourn Norway Massacre 
-----------------------------------------------------



More than 100,000 mourners filled the streets of the Norwegian capital
of Oslo Monday night to pay tribute to the 76 people killed in Friday's
twin attacks. Police say the right-wing extremist who carried out the
attacks could be charge with crimes against humanity. Anders Behring
Breivik appeared in a closed courtroom on Monday. Breivik has stated he
belonged to an anti-Islam network that has two cells in Norway and more
abroad. But Norwegian police and researchers have cast doubt on whether
such an organization exists. Earlier today, Breivik's lawyer suggested
his client might plead insanity at his trial. On Monday, police revised
the death count from the twin attacks to 76, down from 93.
