Anders Breivik has today apologised to “militant nationalists” for not having killed more people in the attacks in July last year.
Breivik also said he will not appeal against his prison sentence for the killing of 77 people in bomb and gun attacks in Norway.
At the end of his sentencing hearing today, Breivik said appealing against the judgment would “legitimise” the court.
Prosecutors said they needed more time to decide whether or not to launch an appeal.
Breivik's gruesome and defiant statement could mark the end of a legal process that has haunted Norway for 13 months.
Prosecutors said they had not decided whether to appeal the ruling by Oslo’s district court, which declared the right-wing extremist sane enough to be held criminally responsible for attacks “unparalleled in Norwegian history”.
“Since I don’t recognise the authority of the court I cannot legitimise the Oslo district court by accepting the verdict,” Breivik said. “At the same time I cannot appeal the verdict, because by appealing it I would legitimise the court.”
Then, Breivik said he wanted to issue an apology but it was not for the victims, most of them teenagers gunned down in one of the worst peacetime shooting massacres in modern history.
“I wish to apologise to all militant nationalists that I wasn’t able to execute more,” Breivik said.
