However, the 32-year-old suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, rejected criminal responsibility.

“He has admitted to the facts of both the bombing and the shooting, although he’s not admitting criminal guilt,” acting police chief Sveinung Sponheim said at a press conference.

“He says that he was alone but the police must verify everything that he said. Some of the witness statements from the island (shootings) have made us unsure of whether there was one or more shooters,” the officer added.

A total of 97 people were wounded in Friday’s attacks and several people were still missing, according to local police.

The police also confirmed that the Norwegian remained the only suspect in custody by Sunday morning.
