Scotland Yard probes Norwegian killer's UK links

Scotland Yard is probing links between the Norwegian killer Anders Behring Breivik and associates in Britain, based on mentions about a meeting in London in a document recovered from him after the Friday massacre.

Breivik, 32, who has admitted carrying out the Oslo bombing and Utoeya island youth camp shootings which killed at least 93 people, wrote a 1,500-page manifesto in English, published online and dated "London 2011".

Scotland Yard said a police officer had gone to Norway to help with the inquiry.

Foreign Secretary William Hague said the UK National Security Council (NSC) would meet today to discuss the attacks.

The document is reportedly littered with references to British politicians for allowing the spread of Islam. The Prince of Wales is criticised for his patronage of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown is branded "a war criminal" and accused of aligning himself with Islamist terror groups.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Labour Party leader Jack Straw, Prince Charles and a number of national newspaper journalists are also mentioned.

In the document written in English, Breivik claimed he was recruited by two English extremists at a meeting in London in April 2002 attended by a total of eight people.

He signed the document with an anglicised version of his name - Andrew Berwick - and it was datelined "London, 2011".
