Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik plotted to bomb President Barack Obama at the ceremony where he collected his Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, according to reports.
The far-right extremist told police that he planned to detonate a car full of explosives in the square next to Oslo City Hall, where Mr Obama accepted the prize in 2009, according to Norway's Dagbladet newspaper.
Breivik reportedly said that the attack would be largely symbolic as security would have prevented him from getting close enough to hurt the US president.
Breivik, 33, has admitted carrying out attacks that left 77 people dead on 22 July last year. His trial is due to begin on 16 April.
