Terror Investigation Continues in Norway
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: God bless the victims, their families, their friends, and the survivors. Peace be with them.</s>COOPER: That bell was given to Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. It rang today a block from Ground Zero in memory of the 76 people killed in Norway's terror attacks last week. Tonight, there's new video of the bombing in central Oslo. This store is a block away from where the bomb went off, but you can see the impact caught on a security camera. That's a full block away now. Imagine that. The blast was reportedly felt more than a mile away even. We now know that bombing was just the beginning of the terror -- 68 people were later gunned down at a youth political camp on a small island outside Oslo. And when police today released the names of 13 more victims, the youngest was just 14 years old, a girl attending the camp. Sixteen-year-old Julie Bremnes managed to hide from the gunman, who was -- who has allegedly confessed to both attacks, a guy named Anders Breivik. He stalked his victims for more than an hour before police arrived. Now, the terror that Julie lived through is captured in text messages that she sent to her mother. Here's one of them. Julie writes, "Mummy, tell the police that they must be quick. People are dying here!" Her mother replies, "I'm working on it, Julie. The police are on their way. Dare you call me?" Julie tells her mom no. Another text, Julie pleads with her mom, "Tell the police that there is a madman running around and shooting people. They must hurry." Julie adds, "We are in fear for our lives." Her mother replies, "I understand that very well, my darling. Stay hidden. Do not move anywhere." Julie also told her mom, "I love you even if I still misbehave from time to time." Julie's mom said that's when she knew the situation was really grave. Police today detonated more explosives they found at a farm belonging to Breivik, who remains in isolation in a prison near Oslo. Now, earlier a few moments ago tonight I talked to senior international correspondent Nic Robertson.</s>VELEZ-MITCHELL: Nic, today on Breivik's farm more explosives were blown up. What do we know about that?</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, we know that some parts of them have been taken away for evidence. But there's some parts of those explosives that it seems to be residual parts from the fertilizer that he turned into a bomb for use here in the center of Oslo that the police say is just too unstable to transport away, so they're sticking a bit of TNT on it and then blowing it up in situ. They pretty much finished that at the farm right now, so they've been through everything there. Bottom line is they need to find out, make sure that they can account for all the fertilizer that he bought, Anderson.</s>COOPER: We're also hearing the police were still searching the waters off the island.</s>ROBERTSON: Yes, there's still some people who are unaccounted for, missing, a small number. And the police continuing with that. And again today they released names of some more of the victims. And I think what is just striking when you read through those names, as we did again today, just the ages. We're reminded again of the ages of some of the children. And some of them there -- two girls I saw one 14, one 15. These were the victims.</s>COOPER: I was surprised to learn that the maximum prison sentence in Norway is 21 years. But the prime minister spoke today. And he said that Breivik could be sentenced to longer than that. How so?</s>ROBERTSON: Well, I think the reason that he laid out today was, if he's still a danger to society here, then the law provides for extending that. Twenty-one years is the maximum people normally spend in jail. But if he is considered -- and it seems that the prime minister is willing to entertain the idea at this stage -- but if after the trial and 21 years later he's still considered a danger to society, then there would be ground for holding him. And that would just show how extreme his particular case is. And it is by any stretch totally extreme.</s>COOPER: And are the police still coming under a lot of criticism for how they handled this incident and their readiness? I understood, you know, that the police helicopter crew had all been excused on vacation so there was no way to get out there by helicopter. Where's the level of criticism at right now?</s>ROBERTSON: The questions are being raised. The helicopter crew, it took an hour and a half for the police to get out to the island. Questions raised why it took so long when media organizations had helicopters over the island and the police couldn't get there? And then even when they got there their boats in some cases didn't work so they had to use public boats. So that's being raised. The police today at a press conference, they were trying to sort of address, if you will, some of that criticism. The commander of the operation on the island to take Breivik into custody praised his officers. But the prime minister today has said, "Look, there's going to be a commission, an independent investigation to look into the attacks to see what we can learn." And I think very clearly he is playing to that public perception that something needs to be done to make sure this doesn't happen again. That questions do need to be answered. He says the commission's going to answer directly to his office, Anderson.</s>COOPER: It's still also hard to believe. Nic Robertson, appreciate it. Thanks, Nic. All right. Let's check in with Isha with a "360 Bulletin" -- Isha.</s>ISHA SESAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, Syria security force and army soldiers stormed a town outside Damascus early this morning, according to a human rights group. An 11-year-old boy was killed. So were at least seven others. Outrage from Britain over this video shown on Libyan state television. It was taken at a pro-Gadhafi rally. The man in the wheelchair is Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. He was released from a Scottish prison in 2009 on compassionate grounds when doctors said he didn't have long to live. The British foreign secretary today called that medical advice, quote, "worthless" and al-Megrahi's release a great mistake. The recently merged Continental and United Airlines had to cancel two dozen flights today because of so many pilots calling in sick. The mysterious epidemic comes as contract negotiations with the pilots' union drags on. And Anderson, "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek was hurt while chasing a burglar out of his San Francisco hotel room. He ruptured his Achilles tendon while trying to catch the culprit who stole cash, a bracelet and other items. Police arrested 56-year-old Lucinda Moyez, who's charged with burglary and receiving stolen property. Anderson, do you know how old Alex Trebek is?</s>COOPER: Wow.</s>SESAY: Do you know how old he is?</s>COOPER: No. How old?</s>SESAY: Seventy-one.</s>COOPER: That old?</s>SESAY: Yes.</s>COOPER: Really?</s>SESAY: Yes.</s>COOPER: He looks great.</s>SESAY: Well, he's a crime-fighting dude.</s>COOPER: I can't say the Same for the mug shot of that woman.</s>SESAY: Looks like life's been a little hard.</s>COOPER: That was -- that's quite a mug shot.</s>SESAY: That's -- that's a keeper.</s>COOPER: Wow.</s>SESAY: Yes.</s>COOPER: She looks like a Chia -- like a Chia pet. That's weird.</s>SESAY: I'm going to leave on that.</s>COOPER: Yes, please do. Time now for "The Shot." Tonight, Isha -- do they not have Chia pets in England?</s>COOPER: No. Funny enough we don't.</s>COOPER: All right. Here's "The Shot" tonight. Two adorable twins, the lords of the dance. Take a look.</s>MUSIC: BLACK-EYED PEAS "HEY YA")</s>COOPER: Do you think these are real? I think this is some sort of weird computer animation or something.</s>SESAY: No.</s>COOPER: This doesn't seem real to me.</s>SESAY: I think...</s>COOPER: We found this on YouTube. We don't know who they are or where they live. But they love their Wii apparently.</s>SESAY: More apparently, can you...</s>COOPER: Do you buy that? Doesn't it look fake?</s>SESAY: Yes. It doesn't look right.</s>COOPER: I hadn't seen that until just now.</s>SESAY: Yes, I think -- but I still think it's pretty impressive. I'm more interested in whether you can dance.</s>COOPER: Well, you know, that's one of the age-old unresolved issues.</s>SESAY: No, it's either -- it's a yes or no answer. You either can or you can't.</s>COOPER: I can dance. I just don't need to do it on television.</s>SESAY: Oh.</s>COOPER: We'll talk more about that coming up. And I want to apologize to our viewers for my voice tonight. I was on a lot of flights, and I think I caught bronchitis or something. Anyway, a lot more to bring you tonight, serious stuff in "Crime & Punishment." Some drama today at the sexual assault trial of polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs. His lawyer -- his lawyers lose their battle to suppress evidence they don't want the jury to see. We'll have more on that just ahead And also a key meeting between Dominic Strauss-Kahn's accuser that former hotel maid and New York prosecutors. The question is: will prosecutors press forward with the maid's case? Details ahead.
