Forensic experts explained the massive injuries to four of the eight victims killed by the 950-kg (2,100-pound) fertilizer bomb on July 22. Breivik admits to the bombing and a subsequent shooting massacre at a Labor Party youth camp that left 69 people dead, most of them teenagers.
"More than 100 body parts were found in the government district," said Ole Morten Stoerseth, a police official tasked with identifying the blast victims.
Relatives of those killed sobbed and embraced during the autopsy presentations. Pictures of the victims' injuries were not shown in court but distributed to the judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers as well as the psychiatrists who are examining Breivik during the trial.
Breivik claims the attacks were "necessary" and that the victims had betrayed Norway by embracing immigration.
As he has for most of the trial, now in its seventh day, the far-right fanatic remained mostly expressionless during the hearing Tuesday. But he smiled when a security guard, who was inside the government high-rise when the bomb exploded, called Breivik's motive for the attacks "totally absurd." » | Karl Ritter, Associated Press | Tuesday, April 24, 2012
