The recent mass killing in Norway could easily serve as a blueprint for other anti-Muslim militants, one of Germany's top security officials warned in a magazine interview on Sunday. Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people in bombing and gun attacks in Norway on July 22, and left detailed instructions on the internet of how he planned the bloodshed without attracting much police attention.
"This could serve as a blueprint for copycats," Alexander Eisvogel, vice-president of Germany's domestic anti-terrorist agency, the Federal Agency for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), told the news magazine Der Spiegel.
"From the point of view of a terrorist, he has meticulously and carefully considered how to avoid coming into the view of the security services. This ... is an extreme concern for us right now," Eisvogel said.
