OSLO (AP) — Norwegian police say they will no longer insist that confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik be held in isolation as he awaits trial on terror charges for July 22 attacks that killed 77 people.
Police attorney Christian Hatlo says investigators are increasingly confident that Breivik had no accomplices when he set off a bomb in Oslo's government district and opened fire at a political youth camp outside the capital.
Hatlo told reporters Thursday that investigators now consider it "safe" to end Breivik's solitary confinement.
However, Hatlo said the decision means little in practice for 32-year-old Norwegian, because authorities at the Ila prison still want to keep him isolated from other prisoners because of security reasons.
