Dutchman played World of Warcraft online with Olso shooter

Dutchman Jeroen Rink played the online computer game World of Warcraft with Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik and was sent an email link by him, the Telegraaf reports on Monday.


World of Warcraft is a multiplayer game which Breivik described in his 1,500 page manifesto as useful preparation for his deadly attack on Friday.
Rink told the paper he was deeply shocked to discover his fellow gamer was the Oslo killer.
‘We talked about politics on occasion and I thought he was pretty radical,’ Rink said. ‘When he heard I had voted for the PVV – Geert Wilders – he sent me a link. I only opened it this weekend and looked at it properly. Shocking. It contained loads of pages with propaganda, films and photos, including him, with guns.’
