Norwegian newspaper VG [Verdens Gang] posted a video clip of the man who appeared to be Norwegian, shouting, “Shoot me! Shoot me!” when he reached the court security, before pouring an inflammable liquid over himself and setting himself alight.
"There were police officers on site and the fire was put out quickly," police operations leader Finn Belle said. "The man received burn injuries and was transported to Oslo University Hospital."
Despite damage to his stomach and chest, the man was conscious and groaning as he was taken away on a stretcher.
Belle said police had yet to determine if the self-immolation had anything to do with the trial. » | Richard Orange | Tuesday, May 15, 2012
