Breivik on drugs during attacks, Norwegian police say
Source: AFP

OSLO — Anders Behring Breivik was under the influence of illegal drugs when he carried out the July 22 twin attacks in Norway, killing 77 people, police said Monday.

“I can confirm that he had used illegal drugs. I do not want to comment on what kind of products, but he had consumed some,” police prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjor Kraby told AFP, saying the conclusion was based on blood test results.

In the 1,500-page manifesto he posted online shortly before carrying out the attacks, the 32-year-old rightwing extremist said he had been using anabolic steroids.

On July 26, his lawyer Geir Lippestad had also said his client had used drugs to keep him “strong, efficient and awake” as he bombed government offices in Oslo then went on a shooting rampage on the nearby island of Utoeya, where the ruling Labour Party’s youth organisation was hosting a summer camp.

1. I don't think anyone is surprised
Michelle Bachmann is reportedly on drugs during all of her attacks (i.e. anytime she speaks). We just don't know if they are illegal drugs.

7. Or illegally obtained provigil.
It makes you more alert than meth without the jitters.
