Anders Behring Breivik denied permission to attend mother's funeral Officials at the high-security Ila prison near Oslo decided to extend his strict security regimen when it came up for review Tuesday, and denied his request to attend the funeral, his lawyer Tord Jordet said. A single mother, she struggled to raise her son and his half-sister alone, and social services very early on hinted that Breivik might not have been receiving proper care at home. But he was never removed from her care. She did not attend his trial, citing health reasons, but had visited him in prison, according to media reports. Accusing the Labour party of facilitating multiculturalism, Breivik opened fire on the summer camp of the party's youth wing on July 22, 2011, killing 69 people, most of whom were teenagers. His attack began in Oslo, where he set off a massive bomb outside the main government building, killing eight.
