Suspect in Norway massacre charged,at least 92 dead

Police have charged Anders Behring Breivik, a 32-year-old right-wing extremist and Christian fundamentalist, as the suspected gunman in yesterday's massacre at Norway's Utoya Island youth camp—which left at least 85 people dead—and the bombing at the government headquarters in Oslo, which killed seven.
Breivik's cooperating with authorities in their investigation. Acting Police Chief Roger Andresen told the press that "he is clear on the point that he wants to explain himself." So far Breivik's exact motive remains unclear,  "both attacks were in areas connected to the left-leaning Labour Party."
Did Breivik have help? Witnesses to the killings at Utoya say two people were involved, but police haven't confirmed that yet. They also don't know if Breivik was part of a terrorist organization. Meanwhile, police are still searching the island for more bodies.
