Kristoffer Danielssen

The Norwegian authorities are looking for a second man who claims to have co-owned the ‘eco-farm’ project that Anders Breivik used to collect the bomb making materials.

Searchlight can reveal that the man goes under the name Kristoffer Danielssen, is a nazi sympathiser and claims to be from Gothenburg in Sweden. His Facebook page claimed that he was co-director of Geofarm Breivik and carried the same John Stuart Mills quote ("One person with belief is equal to the force of 10,000 who have only ideas.") as used by Breivik on Twitter on 17 July.

He counts amongst the people who inspire him British fascist Oswald Mosley, Ferenc Szalasi, the leader of the National Socialist Arrow Cross party in Hungary during WW2, and the late Serbian paramilitary leader Arkan.

The authorities have considered that the name is just another smokescreen by Breivik himself but his Facebook page was changed twice since the bombings and has subsequently been taken down. In the hours following the attack the Norwegian security police contacted their Swedish counterparts asking for help to locate Danielssen. Both are refusing to discuss this matter with the media.

On Thursday I posted that Breivik claimed he lived in Sweden in late 2008 and was a member of a Swedish nazi internet forum in early 2009. This, along with his postings on numerous other far-right and anti-Muslim websites, seem to suggest that he had more connections than previously thought. He might have carried out the bombing alone but he was clearly influenced and motivated by the far right and anti-Muslim propaganda he read.
