Norway attacker demands Japanese specialists

Andres Behring Breivik, the self-confessed perpetrator of Norway's twin terror attacks, has demanded that his mental condition be diagnosed by Japanese specialists as part of a list of demands his lawyer described as "unrealistic." Geir Lippestad said his client promised to tip police off about two other terrorist cells that allegedly helped him organize the July 22 massacres if the authorities met his demands, which also include the resignation of the government. Lippestad said the 32-year-old anti-Muslim extremist wanted to be diagnosed by Japanese specialists because "he thinks that the Japanese will understand him better than the Europeans." Breivik has confessed to killing 8 people with a car bomb in Oslo before shooting dead 69 others at an island youth camp on July 22. He could be jailed for up to 30 years if convicted
