BREAKING (TRANSLATED QUOTES FROM OSLO TERRORIST JUST IN): Anders Behring Breivik (32) was executing youths on Utøya for one and half hours until he 'ran out of ammunition [he was using both handguns and a semi-automatic rifle] and subsequently surrendered to Norwegian special forces late Friday afternoon.

The man charged with one of the world's most shocking massacres in recent history has explained to police that he wanted to change Norwegian politics through violence.

"He's stated that he went to Utøya [where 700 youths in the age of 15-25 were gathered] to give the Labour party a warning that 'doomsday would be imminent' unless the party changed its policies," said Geir Lippestad, the man's defense attorney.

"He wanted to hurt the Labour party and halt its recruitment in the worst possible way, referring to party members as marxists."

Lippestad says that Behring Breivik remained calmed and balanced throughout a 10 hour night of interrogation.

"I think he's realised what he's done, and he views himself as sane."

(VG's journalist asks Lippestad whether Behring Breivik feels remorse, a question to which Lippestad refuses to comment.)

When he was arrested he had no ammunition left in his weapon.

"He's told me that he surrendered to Delta [Norwegian special forces]."

Tomorrow will be the day of imprisonment prior to any trial, and Behring Breivik will be able to explain his actions further. Lippestad elaborates:

"He wanted to open doors [by committing these crimes]. He will explain the background of his actions and why he actually did it for media."

"He sits on a lot of hatred for many people, which incorporates most significant societal institutions."

Breivik's ambition was to radically change Norwegian society. He felt that he did not have any other alternatives to violence. He had previously tried to change it [society] through letters to newspapers, but they were refuted.

"He says that there was no other way. He had tried all possible alternatives.He felt that his actions were gruesome, but necessary," said Lippestad.

"He wanted to 'open doors
