OSLO, Norway (AP) — Oslo police say a man set himself on fire outside the courthouse where right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik is being tried on terror charges for a bombing and shooting massacre last July.
Police operations leader Finn Belle told The Associated Press that the man doused himself in a flammable liquid and set himself on fire. He said police officers posted outside the building Tuesday quickly put out the fire.
Belle said the man received burn injuries and was transported to Oslo University Hospital. He said the man's identity or his motive wasn't immediately clear.
