OSLO (Reuters) – Anders Behring Breivik told a Norwegian judge on Monday his bombing and shooting rampage that killed 93 people aimed to save Europe from a Muslim takeover, and said that "two more cells" existed in his organization.

Breivik has previously said he had acted alone and police have said they have no other suspects in Friday's attacks.

His remarks were relayed by the judge, Kim Heger, in a news conference held after a closed-door custody hearing.

It was not clear whether Breivik is in fact part of an organization, although he has written about a revival of the Knights Templar, a medieval order of crusading monks.

A top Oslo court official declined to elaborate on Breivik's claim after the hearing. Instead, court chief Geir Engebretsen repeated the ruling of judge Kim Heger who is trying Breivik's case.

Earlier on Monday, Heger told a news conference: "The accused has made statements today that require further investigation, including that 'there are two more cells in our organisation'." Breivik has previously said he acted alone in the attacks.

The judge ordered eight weeks detention for 32-year-old Breivik, who has admitted to the attacks. Breivik told the court that he acted to save Europe from Islam.

Heger said that Breivik would be locked up alone with no incoming letters, media nor visitors except for his lawyer. A trial could be a year away.
