Norwegian television and newspaper reports have identified the suspect as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik.

Official sources and social media indicate that Breivik might be a right-wing Christian fundamentalist who may have had an issue with Norway's multi-cultural society.

Well I mean it's sort of given that an extremist would be responsible for this.
