A man has set himself on fire outside the court where Norwegian right-wing extremist Anders Breivik is on trial over the deaths of 77 people, according to Sky sources.
Sky's Trygve Sorvaag, reporting from the Oslo court complex, said the incident occurred near the security examination point.
There was a flurry of activity outside the Oslo court after the incident
Sorvaag said: "The man is now in hospital with serious injuries.
"Police said he was a Norwegian citizen."
The incident comes amid gripping testimony from several survivors of Breivik's attack on the island of Utoya, which claimed the lives of 69 people.

They never mention the motive of the man that set himself on fire. I'm glad they included the victims touching story, too often something like this is spoken about in aggregate and we don't hear the human side of the consequences of such cowardly acts as shooting unarmed students. Guys a monster.

I find European news sources to be much better that domestic ones. I subscribe to BBC's World News podcast. It comes out every twelve hours and for it's 30 minute length, I get more world detail than all day on CNN.
For the motive of the guy that set himself on fire, that has not been revealed as of yet. The news had just come out. I'm sure there will be more detail as people are able to talk to the poor guy. Assuming he wants to talk or is capable.

Sometimes i'm in my car around the time the BBC is aired on my local NPR station. I enjoy their coverage.
