The man responsible for the mass killing in Norway emailed his 1,500-page document to 250 British contacts less than 90 minutes before he began his attack, according to a Belgian MP.
Anders Behring Breivik sent his manifesto to 1,003 email addresses at 2.09pm on Friday – less than an hour and a half before he detonated a bomb in Oslo.
According to Tanguy Veys MP for the rightwing anti-Muslim party Vlaams Belang, – and one of those who received the document – approximately a quarter of those on the email list were UK-based.
“I think the UK was the biggest group [of recipients],” he told the Guardian last night. “There were people from Italy, France Germany … but the UK was the biggest number.”
Using the name Andrew Berwick, Breivik emailed his manifesto and a link to a YouTube video and addressed each recipient “Western Europepatriot” and wrote: “It is a gift to you … I ask you to distribute it to everyone you know.”
It has been reported that Scotland Yard’s domestic extremism unit, which is investigating Breivik’s British links, has been sent a list of UK-based email addresses although the Met refused to confirm that.
Veys said he had not had any contact with Breivik and condemned his actions.
