But police are still trying to establish whether there was "one or several" shooters at Friday's attack on a Labour Party youth meeting on Utoeya island, northwest of Oslo, police commissioner Sveinung Sponheim told journalists.

"During questioning, he said he acted alone," Sponheim said. "We will try to verify this through our inquiry."
