Self confessed mass murderer and right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik listens to one of his lawyers Tord Jordet on the fourth day of proceedings in the courtroom 250 at Oslo's courthouse on April 19, 2012.
OSLO There were 569 people on the island the day that Anders Behrig Breivik opened fire and he told a court on Thursday he would have liked to kill them all including beheading former premier Gro Harlem Brundtland.
He also said he wanted to post a video of Bruntland's execution on the Internet.
Breivik murdered 77 people last July, in the Utoya island shooting spree and an Oslo bombing. In addition to beheading the former premier, Breivik planned three not one car bombs and a death toll of several hundred people.
In the bomb attack in Oslo, he said his goal "…was to kill the entire Norwegian government, including the PM… and everyone in the building."

Breivik said that originally he had planned three car bombs and a shooting. He said he had considered placing a second bomb near the headquarters of the Labour Party, which he accuses of triggering a "Muslim invasion" with its generous immigration policies.
For the third location, he considered parliament, Norway's Aftenposten newspaper and City Hall, before deciding on the royal palace, although he insisted he had planned to warn the royal family so they would not be hurt.
He said he then planned to ride a motorcycle to a far-left squatter community, then to the Dagsavisen daily and finally to the headquarters of the Socialist Left Party, "executing as many people as possible" in each place.
But it turned out to be much more difficult than he expected to build bombs, so he ended up only bombing the government offices and then heading to Utoya, where "the goal was to kill everybody."
During his killing spree, he first blew up a van filled with 950 kilograms of explosives at the foot of the tower housing the offices of Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who was not present at the time.
He then travelled to Utoeya island where, dressed as a police officer, he methodically shot for more than an hour at hundreds of people at a Labour Party youth summer camp, taking 69 lives, mostly teenagers.

Police and emergency services gather following Anders Behrig Breivik massacre at a summer youth camp on July 22, 2011 on Utoya Island, Norway.
The 33-year-old far-right extremist also testified he had given his murder weapons names from Norse mythology, calling his rifle "Gungnir" after Odin's magical spear and his Glock pistol "Mjoelner" after Thor's hammer.
And he revealed he had once spent a year playing video games, including role-playing online game "World of Warcraft," and a first-person shooting game, to prepare for what he believed would be a suicide mission.
"The plan was to not surrender before the whole plan had been carried out," he told the court. "It was a suicide mission where the probability of survival was equal to zero."
Breivik also practiced a form of Japanese meditation daily since 2006 to help block out his emotions during the attacks and said he was still meditating to help him get through the trial.
"I stand for Utoya and what I did, and would still do it again," he said.
Survivors and victims' family members cried quietly, shaking their heads in disgust at some of the harshest words Breivik has uttered in the trial.
He insisted he was "not a child murderer", and described the Utoya victims as "category B" traitors because they held "leading positions" within the Labour party youth movement.
Earlier in the day, Breivik answered questions from the prosecution about the year 2006, when he isolated himself to spend an average of 16 hours a day to play video games after returning to live with his mother at the age of 27.
"Some people dream about sailing around the world, some dream of playing golf. I dreamt of playing World of Warcraft," he told the court.
He insisted the game was very social, "pure entertainment (and) has nothing to do with July 22″. He said it was a "hobby" and he decided to play it for a full year so as not to regret leaving a dream unfulfilled.
"I felt it was right to do this to prepare myself mentally to sacrifice my life," he told the court.
Breivik also mentioned the game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," which he said he had used as actual training for the shooting spree.
"It is a war simulator. It gives you an impression of how target systems work," he explained.
He has used testosterone since April last year and anabolic steroids on the day of the attacks, he said.
Calm and cooperative during questioning, Breivik smiled several times while discussing target shooting techniques.
When confronted about his smiles by prosecutor Svein Holden, he acknowledged the survivors and victims' families watching were probably reacting "in a natural way, with horror and disgust."
Norwegian authorities on Thursday deported a German woman who has expressed support for Breivik during visits to the courthouse this week, police said.
The unidentified woman has claimed to be Breivik's girlfriend, but Jan Kvarme of Norway's police said those reports were unconfirmed. Asked by the private TV2 television station if she had exchanged letters with the gunman, she nodded her head.
Breivik, charged with "acts of terror," has entered a plea of not guilty, saying his actions were "cruel but necessary."
