OSLO: A judge ordered eight weeks detention on Monday for the Norwegian man who has admitted a bombing and shooting massacre that killed about 90 people and who claimed in court to have two more groups of collaborators.
Custody, in line with prosecutors' request, will allow them to investigate the case against Anders Behring Breivik, 32, an anti-Islamic terrorist who has previously claimed sole responsibility for Friday's attacks. The custody can be extended.
The suspect admitted the facts of the case, but did "not plead guilty," judge Kim Heger said after the closed-door hearing.
Judge Kim Heger said that Breivik would be locked up alone with no incoming letters, media nor visitors except for his lawyer. A trial could be a year away.
"The accused has made statements today that require further investigation, including that 'there are two more cells in our organisation," Heger told a news conference.
Breivik told the court that he acted to save Europe from Islam. He had previously said he had acted alone.

We believe hat the Killer is not true representation of Christianity and similarly we expect that West must also believe the terrorists like Tabliban and Al-Qaeda are not true representation of Islam. Religions teaches tolerance...
Shall the world call him a "Christian terrorist" just like they call Muslims. A fair act.
while his actions were horrific,his reasons are fair and what he was angry about is understandable.but that doesn't mean he should have gone ahead and killed people. violence is NEVER EVER the answer.there can be no justification for taking lives and this guy should be locked up forever. but at the same time ,his concerns are legitimate and the rise of islamofascism in europe cannot be ignored.having visited europe over the decades i've noticed how the muslim country has been more radicalised,how i see hijabs and burkas everywhere whereas 15 years ago the women were much more free and unashamed of their bodies and unashamed of their gender. the west needs to get its act together ,they cannot allow europe to become another waziristan.
Why is it so hard to believe that he acted alone? How difficult is it for one mad man to take a weapon and slaughter innocents in a country where daily life doesn't require intrusive security?
This man was not a true brother in Freemasonry, that much is obvious...
