Anders Behring Breivik: Oslo bomb survivor testifies


A survivor of Anders Behring Breivik's bomb attack on Oslo on 22 July has been testifying on the ninth day of his trial in the Norwegian capital.
Anders Behring Breivik arrives in court in Oslo, 26 April
Harald Fosker had to have surgery on his face as a result of the blast in the government quarter, which killed eight people and injured 209 others.
Breivik, who later killed 69 people on the island of Utoeya, admits the attacks but denies guilt or insanity.
Thousands of people are preparing to sing a peace song outside the court.
In court last Friday, Breivik attacked Norway's educational system and singled out singer Lillebjoern Nilsen as a "good example of a Marxist who infiltrated the cultural sector, [who] writes music that is used to brainwash children".
On Thursday, protesters plan to join arms and sing Nilsen's Children of the Rainbow, a Norwegian rendition of US folk singer Pete Seeger's 1971 My Rainbow Race.
The five-strong panel of judges at Breivik's trial will make a ruling on his sanity at the verdict in July.
