Norway mass killer deemed sane by psychiatric team

Oslo: Norwegian militant Anders Behring Breivik was sane when he killed 77 people last summer in attacks he saw as punishing “traitors” who favoured immigration, a psychiatric team said on Tuesday, in a report contradicting an earlier one that found him psychotic.
