Anders Breivik, the Norwegian man who killed a combined 76 people in the heart of Oslo and on the island of Utoeya last week, told a judge Monday that “two more cells” belonging to his supposed terrorist organization are at large. Police have not decided whether he acted alone or in concert with others. An assortment of information, including a 12-minute slide show and a 1,500-page manifesto connected to Breivik, has surfaced on the Internet since Friday’s shooting. –ARK

Interpol's latest report on European terrorism, which covers 2014, would obviously look different for the horrible year of 2015. But you can’t judge trends on any one year, and 2014 was more typical of the past decade than 2015.
