Norway Killer Returns to Scene of the Crime in Police Reconstruction

OSLO, Norway -- Held tightly on a police leash, the Norwegian man who confessed to killing 69 people at an island youth camp has reconstructed his actions for police back at the crime scene.

Police said Sunday they took Anders Behring Breivik back to the island of Utoya on Saturday for a hearing about the July 22 terror attacks, when Breivik shot the victims dead on the lake island near Oslo after killing another eight people in the capital with a bomb.

The 32-year-old described the killings in close detail during an eight-hour tour on the island, prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby told a press conference in Oslo.

"The suspect showed he wasn't emotionally unaffected by being back at Utoya ... but didn't show any remorse," Hjort Kraby said.

Images of the reconstruction published in the Norwegian daily VG show Breivik simulating shots into the water, where panicked teenagers tried to escape from him.

The hearing took place amid a massive security operation that aimed to avoid escape attempts by Breivik and protect him against potential avengers.

Breivik's lawyer has said he has admitted to the terror attacks, but denies criminal guilt because he believes the massacre was necessary to save Norway and Europe from Muslims and punish politicians who have embraced multiculturalism

Hulu Up for Grabs; Company Expects $1.5 Billion

Peter Kafka at AllThingsD prepares us for the sale of Hulu, with bids expected in the neighborhood of $1.5 billion. Mr. Kafka speculates that the most likely buyer may be Yahoo, a company (like other prospective bidders) with none of the blossoming ambivalence and complications that bedevil current co-owners Disney, News Corp, and Comcast, who produce and distribute the television shows that make up Hulu’s “jukebox,” which a Modern Family producer speculated would be “empty” should shows and their producers cease to cooperate with Hulu’s terms.
