Poland's Internal Security Agency said Tuesday that they are investigating a Polish chemist after he admitted supplying chemicals to Breivik.
Investigators said that the chemist, who sold items to the Norwegain via the internet, could be charged with "unauthorized possession [...] and trade in substances that could be potentially dangerous to the life and health of many people."
Keten Chemicals, the online company based in Wroclaw in southwestern Poland, told Associated Press yesterday that they had supplied Breivik with the chemicals, but said in all their email contact the Norwegian appeared to be a normal businessman. (pg/ek)
