Anders Behring Breivik, who killed at least 93 people in a bomb attack and shooting rampage in Norway, arrived at an Oslo courtroom for a closed custody hearing Monday to jeers from an angry crowd. “Get out, get out!” shouted Alexander Roeine, 24, banging on the car he believed had brought Breivik to Oslo District Court. “Everyone here wants him dead,” he said, adding that he knew one of the dead and three survivors of Friday's attacks. According to his lawyer, Breivik had wanted to explain why he perpetrated modern-day Norway's worst peace-time massacre, but a judge ruled that the hearing would be a closed session. “We want to see him really hurt for what he did,” said Zezo Hasab, 32, among a crowd who gave Breivik a furious reception. Norway's first glimpse of the killer was a shaky, long-range television picture of a man with close-cropped blond hair and a red top, as he got into a police jeep after the hearing. He appeared calm and did not try to communicate with journalists standing across the road from an underground garage where he was brought down from the courtroom. He sat unmovingly in the back seat, with a policeman beside him, his head tilted slightly back, before being whisked away. Prosecutors wanted Breivik detained for an initial eight weeks — normally this is in solitary confinement with no access to news, letters or visitors, except a lawyer. His custody can be extended before his trial on terrorism charges. The judge was due to announce his decision later Monday. Norwegians held a minute's silence for the victims of the self-confessed killer with an anti-immigration agenda. “In remembrance of the victims ... I declare one minute's national silence,” Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said on the steps of Oslo University, flanked by Norway's king and queen. The silence stretched to five minutes as thousands more stood around a carpet of flowers outside nearby Oslo cathedral. Only squawking seagulls and a barking dog broke the silence. Cars stopped in the streets and their drivers got out and stood motionless as traffic lights changed from red to green. “This is a tragic event to see all these young people dying due to one man's craziness. It is important to have this minute of silence so that all the victims and the parents of the families know that people are thinking about them,” said mechanic Sven-Erik Fredheim, 36, shortly before the silence.
