Police in Norway have begun releasing the names of the 76 people killed in Friday's bomb attack in Oslo and mass shooting on a nearby island. Earlier, the lawyer for the man who's admitted carrying out the attacks, Anders Behring Breivik, expressed doubts about his client's mental health. From Oslo, Stephen Evans.

挪威警方已经开始公布周五在奥斯陆的炸弹爆炸袭击和附近小岛上的大规模枪击中遇难的76人的名单。此前,已承认实施了袭击的男子布雷维克(Anders Behring Breivik)的律师对他的当事人的精神健康状况表示怀疑。来自奥斯陆,Stephen Evans报道。

The lawyer said his client was probably insane, though it wasn't certain that insanity would be his formal plea. He said his client regarded himself as taking part in a war. Breivik is now likely to be charged with an offence related to terrorism, which will enable the court to impose a longer sentence than the current maximum for murder. The head of the country's intelligence service told the BBC they were also investigating links to other groups and whether Breivik may have left unexploded bombs elsewhere.

该律师称,他的当事人可能患有精神病,尽管并不确定精神病是否会是他的正式诉求。他说,他的当事人认为自己卷入了一场战争。布雷维克现在可能会被控告恐怖主义有关的罪名,这将使法庭的判决超过目前对谋杀罪的最高刑罚。国家情报部门负责人告诉BBC,他们正在调查此事与其他组织的联系,以及布雷维克是否还在其他地方遗留了未爆炸的炸弹。
