Breivik Filmed Norway Massacre For Media Release, But Cops Can’t Find Camera

The Norwegian gunman charged with killing 69 people at a youth camp filmed the massacre to use as a propaganda video, according to police, Sky News reports.
Anders Behring Breivik, 32, is accused of opening fire on young people at a Labor Party camp on an island near Oslo on July 22 to draw attention to his extremist anti-immigration views.
He is also accused of setting off a bomb at a government building in that capital that killed eight people before the shooting rampage.
“We have information from his manifesto and from earlier questioning indicating that he did have a camera,” Oslo police lawyer Christian Hatlo tells Sky News. “We are looking for his camera but have not found anything so far.”
Police do not rule out that a video of the shootings might still be on the island of Utoya where the gunman fired on campers for more than 70 minutes before he was arrested.
Police are still going through hundreds of computers, cameras and phones on the island, where more than 600 people were staying.
Breivik says in his 1,500-page manifesto that he would send films of the attacks to a dozen newsrooms in the hope some would broadcast the footage, Sky News says.
“Unfortunately, the upload and submission via e-mail could take at least three to seven hours, so it is not an option because of technological limitations,” he writes in the document.
