OSLO, Norway (AP) - Anders Breivik has been declared sane and sentenced to prison for bomb and gun attacks that killed 77 people last year.
Reading the ruling, the judge handed down a sentence of "preventive detention" of at least 10 years and a maximum of 21 years. However, such sentences can be extended under Norwegian law as long as an inmate is considered dangerous. Lawyers for the 33-year-old right-wing extremist said before the decision that Breivik would appeal any insanity ruling but accept a prison sentence.
