Robert Spencer: Norway terrorism a ‘false flag’ operation
Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, appearing on American Family Radio’s ‘Today’s Issues’ on Monday seems to have said that the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik was a ‘false flag’ operation.
Spencer spent much of the interview countering a New York Times article ‘Killings in Norway Spotlight Anti-Muslim Thought in U.S.’, which discussed the influence of Spencer and other counter-jihadists on Breivik.
Spencer, however, went beyond putting distance between the counter- jihadists and Breivik to advance a bizarre conspiracy theory.
Here is my transcription of Spencer’s remarks.

Host: he was trying to kill the prime minister of his own country
Spencer: so he says …
Spencer’s statement can be found at approximately the 33:40 mark on of this audio of the AFR show.
