Anders Behring Breivik has said a psychiatric report that declared him insane was based on "evil fabrications" and meant to portray him as irrational and unintelligent.
"It is not me who is described in that report," the rightwing extremist, who admits killing 77 people in bombing and shooting attacks on 22 July 2011, said in court.
A second psychiatric examination found Breivik sane. The panel of five judges trying Breivik on terror charges for the attacks will consider both reports.
Breivik admits to the bombing of a government district in Oslo that killed eight people and subsequent shootings at a Labour party youth camp that left 69 people dead, most of them teenagers. He claims the attacks were "necessary" and that the victims had betrayed Norway by embracing immigration.
If found guilty, Breivik would face 21 years in prison, though he can be held longer if deemed a danger to society. If declared insane, he would be committed to compulsory psychiatric care.
After listening to testimony describing the horrific injuries of the bombing victims, Breivik showed no remorse, saying if anyone should apologise it was the governing Labour party.
He said he had hoped it would change its policy on immigration after his attacks.
"But instead they continue in the same direction, so the grounds for struggle are unfortunately even more relevant now than before 22 July," Breivik said. » | Associated Press in Oslo | Wednesday, April 25, 2012
