Inspired by a BBC documentary, Anders Behring Breivik visited two Prague brothels and a couple of sex clubs in an attempt to procure and test fire an AK-47 assault rifle

The Norwegian man who has admitted to going on a shooting spree and being behind a bomb attack which killed more than 90 people, Anders Behring Breivik, came to Prague in search of an AK-47 and semi-automatic pistol. Breivik had a picture of the Czech capital as a dangerous place where he could make a weapons deal with drugs dealers in sleazy bars and brothels. He left the city after having sex with two women — likely prostitutes — but with no weapons.
